From the basic ingredients of <em>sa shi su se so<\/em> (sugar, salt, vinegar, soy sauce and miso) to the more complex creation of <em>dashi<\/em> and <em>umami<\/em> tastes, we\u2019ve explored how to prepare appetizers, soups, pickles and main dishes. This month, our post focuses on <em>wagashi<\/em>, or traditional Japanese sweets.<\/p>\n<p><em>Wagashi<\/em>, which literally means \u201cJapanese sweet snack\u201d, are bite-sized confections. They are traditionally made with simple, plant-based ingredients. The simplicity of the ingredients, however, is deceptive, as <em>wagashi<\/em> are created based on <em>washoku<\/em> principles of the <em>Five Tastes<\/em> and the <em>Five Senses<\/em> and take into account the seasonality of the natural world.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2372\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2372\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2372 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/dorayaki.jpg\" alt=\"dorayaki\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2372\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Dorayaki<\/em>, or sweet pancakes filled with red bean paste<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><em>Wagashi<\/em> is said to have originated in Japan during the time Japanese emissaries returned to the country from visiting China in the 8<sup>th<\/sup> century.\u00a0 The first truly Japanese form of <em>wagashi<\/em> was a <em>mochi<\/em> and <em>azuki<\/em> bean dumpling sweetened with the juice of various vines. As this delicacy became more popular and spread to cities influenced by the aristocracy along the west coast of Japan, such as Matsue and Kanazawa, <em>wagashi<\/em> creation and design flourished. In the 12<sup>th<\/sup> century, <em>wagashi<\/em> became part of formal tea ceremonies and was paired with bitter <em>matcha<\/em> tea. When sugar was introduced to Japan in the 16<sup>th<\/sup> century, <em>wagashi<\/em> became easier and less expensive to produce, making it available to the general population.<\/p>\n<p>The variety of <em>wagashi<\/em> is vast, and it is classified using a few criteria: formal vs. every day, production method, moisture content and shape.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2370\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2370\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2370 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/hinamatsuriwagashi.jpg\" alt=\"hinamatsuriwagashi\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2370\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Girl&#8217;s day <em>wagashi<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Formal <em>wagashi<\/em> are served at tea ceremonies or special events and are sculpted to represent a seasonal motif for the particular event, such as cherry blossoms in the spring to celebrate Girl\u2019s Day. Every day <em>wagashi<\/em> are found at street vendors and shops and come in the form of dumplings or cakes or specialized shapes, with various fillings and toppings, usually made in the morning to be eaten that day.<\/p>\n<p>Some of the formal<em> wagashi<\/em> are crafted based on the seasons. Their base flavors include the five tastes\u2013sweet, salty, sour, bitter and spicy\u2013with a particular taste emphasized according to what is seasonally available. For example, in the spring, when people gravitate towards sour flavors, <em>wagashi<\/em> are flavored with oranges. Each piece is also crafted to appeal to the five senses, from the seasonal motifs of each shape, to the fragrance of the ingredients, to the taste, to the texture to the sounds of nature that are evoked when eating a piece.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2373\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2373\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2373 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.zojirushi.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/mizuyoukan.jpg\" alt=\"mizuyoukan\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2373\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Mizuyoukan<\/em>, or soft sweet bean jelly<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Making<em> wagashi<\/em> is considered a craft, and <em>wagashi<\/em> makers can be awarded the title of \u201cContemporary Master Craftsman\u201d. <em>Wagashi<\/em> craftsmen take pride in creating confections that balance seasonal flavors and motifs, from traditional cherry blossoms to modern Santa Clauses, appealing to the tastes of all generations.
