Spring Japanese sweets purchased at Tsuruya Yoshinobu
【Sato Sakura】
Price：432 yen（tax included）
This is “high-grade Japanese fresh confections ” bought at the long-established store of Kyoto cuisine founded in 1803 which holds the head office in Nishijin in Kyoto “Yoshinobu Tsuruya”. This high-grade Japanese fresh confections is said to be a work of art, a tradition and a longstanding sweet that had been served as the best hospitality in formal occasions from the past. It is really beautiful for 360 degrees wherever you look, and I fell in love with it.
This is made of materials based on white bean, and if you put it in your mouth, gentle sweetness spreads throughout your mouth. It has the shape of a cherry blossom, but it doesn’t have the taste of it. Inside is like this.
If you eat it with tea, you will be able to relax and happy.
【Touri】

Touri means Peach and Plum. It has a slightly mysterious shape. This shape expresses flowers. It seems like the sprout has come out in the spring. The color is also brilliant, it is very beautiful. This is colored using natural coloring so it is safe in the sight of using materials.
There are Azuki beans like this in it.
It was slightly softer than the Sato Sakura, and the texture of Azuki beans was also sweet.
【Sakura Rice Cake】
Price：270 yen（tax included）
This is a Japanese classic sweets in spring, sakura rice cake. At first glance it is a mysterious appearance that the rice cake is wrapped with the leaves, but when you remove the leaves, there are rice cakes of cherry color inside. This leaf is cherry leaf which was salted and we eat it with rice cake. The saltiness of the leaves becomes an accent of sweet rice cake, which is very delicious.
The rice cake part has a feeling of rice grains and I like that texture very much! There is Koshi Ann inside, and this is also excellent with rich sweetness.
