Chrysanthemum is the representative flower of autumn.

Place it on your favorite plate and use the black letters (* 2) to enjoy it slowly.
A confectionery with chopsticks around a candy ball is called “Kinton”.Seasonal plants can be seen in the light colors of cherry blossoms, green pine, yellow rape blossoms, etc.This red and yellow are reminiscent of colorful autumn leaves.Confectionery such as “Teruyou” and “Nishiki” come to mind.
We have modeled “Shimeji” with Arihei Sugar (* 3), “Matsuba” with Unhirada (* 4), “Akatsuki” and “Ginkgo”, and a small “Ginnan” with Ochiman (* 5). Because of the feeling of being gathered together by the wind, these arrangements are called “breathing”. It's plentiful and you want to enjoy the scenery.
A two-layered dough wrapped around straw was shaped into a pine, and it was sprinkled with ice candy (* 6) as if it were snow. Since pine is evergreen, it has long been loved as a symbol of longevity. Along with bamboo and plum design confectionery, it is also recommended to use it for celebrations such as the New Year and weddings.
This is a savory bun that is made by mixing tsukune rice cake with the dough. The stamps of the wells and plums are pressed, and the green color of the pots is arranged to express the characteristics of the woven part of the pottery. You may feel the playfulness of the creator in the fun of making it look like.
It can be said that it is a staple of New Year's confectionery. One of Miyanaka's Osechi dishes, “Hiso”, is the original form, and the combination of sweetly boiled beef bowl and miso is rare. It is said that miso is a simmered boiled rice, and beef bowl is like a sushi (* 7) that was eaten in the New Year.
In January-February, in addition to the colorful red potatoes and neat white camellia, various camellia flowers will be formed in the form of kneaded or iro (* 8). I want to pay attention not only to petals and leaves, but also to the expression of the flower core. It makes you feel the craftsman's ingenuity, such as adding poppy seeds or rough flour.
A variety of dried confectionery that celebrates the joy of spring.“Running water” and “Butterfly” are represented by Kumohira, and “Aoi” and “Etsubushi” are represented by wooden lanterns. The Chiyo-knot with red and white stripes is Arihira sugar, and it is also appreciated for celebrations. After arranging the hinamatsuri and wild fun in a bowl, prepare a green tea and take a break.
The appeal of Japanese confectionery is not only imitating the shape of a flower, but also expressing it abstractly. This design, which is a Uro fabric with a cocoon in the center, is folded from four sides, and it has the image of a plum before flowering.Considering the buds, the inside is dark red.
Cherry blossoms that Japanese people love. From the beginning of bloom to the appearance of being in full bloom, it is transformed into a confectionery design.Here, it represents a beautiful cherry blossom made of Konashi (* 9) shaped like a tree. If you think that the mold is made of wild cherry trees, you will find the sweets of cherry blossoms even more adorable.
