This wagashi is delicately crafted in the shape of a stalk of wheat

The sweet is round in shape, made from a smooth layer of nerikiri dough with a soft gradient of green. On the surface, it features an intricate carving of blooming wheat stalks, with each leaf crafted sharply, symmetrically, and with lifelike detail.

This wagashi symbolizes abundance, good fortune, and a bountiful harvest. Wheat represents agriculture and life, and is often associated with wishes for prosperity, good health, and success. In Japanese culture, sweets that reflect nature or seasonal crops express a deep appreciation for the harmony between humans and the natural world.
