Unlike many more familiar #wagashi , they stand out for their unique texture—soft, delicate, and almost jelly-like—made from a plant-based starch similar to agar. They are then coated in kinako, a roasted soybean flour with a warm, slightly nutty flavor.

Their sweetness is subtle, designed to accompany tea without overpowering it.
