And fruits, that is, Japanese snacks, are deeply favored by people at any time. What is Japanese dim sum? Adzuki bean is a main raw material of Japanese dim sum. Boiled and made into bean stuffing, mixed with sweet sugar, the taste is extremely sweet. Bean stuffing is usually wrapped in rice cakes to make all kinds of exquisite snacks. In addition, there is a typical Japanese snack called "ZENZAI", which is made by adding adzuki beans and rice cakes to a sticky and sweet soup. Mutton soup is also a very representative Japanese snack. "Wild Goose" is a dessert made by pressing sugar into a wood carving model, and there are no adzuki beans in it.

According to the effective records of history, the tea ceremony culture we know about Japan was brought back to Japan by the Japanese envoy to the Tang Dynasty at that time, including the tea ceremony culture and cake skills, which were deeply loved by the Japanese aristocracy. Therefore, there are many elegant names of Hehuozi, such as "morning dew", "moon ling zi" and "golden jade soup", which were named by the Japanese imperial nobles from the songs of peace.
After thousands of years of history, the Japanese have already closely combined the fruit of harmony with their culture and national spirit. Take cherry blossom, their national flower, as an example. Many of the inspirations for the production of fruit harmony are based on this, such as the pink color, the shape of petals, and even cherry blossom petals or salted leaves. Therefore, the small fruit harmony represents the Japanese culture and spirit. In Japan, the fruit of harmony is basically a by-product attached to the tea ceremony, that is, tea with tea. Su Xinyi, a tea ceremony teacher, said that it is more or less meaningful for Japanese people to drink matcha with sweet and greasy fruit of harmony, because sugar can offset the effect of scraping the stomach and removing oil from raw tea.
Wagashi (わがしwagashi) actually refers to Japanese cakes. In terms of categories, it can be divided into two major themes: raw fruit and dried fruit. Raw fruit, also known as main fruit, rising fruit or morning fruit, refers to fresh cakes made in the morning. Due to the short shelf life, it can only be kept for about two days, so it should be eaten while fresh. Compared with other kinds of fruit, raw fruit pays special attention to the change of shape, so it becomes the protagonist of Japanese gift giving. Compared with the fresh food requirements of raw fruits, the dried fruits that are resistant to release are much sweeter for long-term preservation, and are mainly pressed into various shapes with sugar and bean powder.
In the filling part, red bean stuffing and white bean paste stuffing are the main types of fruits, and occasionally matcha stuffing is also seen. Seasonal fillings include chestnuts, sweet potatoes, plums, persimmons, etc., and flour and rice (including glutinous rice and Penglai rice) are combined into various changes. When I arrived in Japan, I walked into the fruit shop, which was absolutely dazzling.
