Japanese traditional food –WAGASI(2)

I had introduced you about WAGASI before. And it is the continue.
Some time around the 8Th century, simple confections were brought into Japan from China. In ancient times, very few sweet things were available in Japan, so nuts and fruits were highly prized.

Some white dough is sandwiched between two layers of pink dough. And then wrapped around a ball of sweet bean paste. The onset of winter is represented by WAGASI like these.　Traditional confections are almost made by hand.
