The shape looks nice, it's sweet and quite tasty.

ひとくちきんつばアイス // Bite-Sized Kintsuba Ice Cream Kintsuba is a fried sweet made from adzuki paste dipped in a very thin batter. I’d never seen it in ice cream format before... very fun and exciting! Kinda weird that there’s 13 per box though? Japan doesn’t have the superstition, obviously, but it is a prime number, so you gotta wonder about the packaging...

Day 10: Wagashi 和菓子 upon Wagashi 和菓子 in Kanazawa ~ Today started off with yet another queue. This time for an eatery in the Omicho market called ichibanzushi, where I had my last fill of fresh fish for the trip, and got to taste Kanazawa’s famous blackthroat fish のど黒! (It was definitely worth the wait 🤤) I also find it interesting how sushi restaurants tend to have self-serve powdered green tea, but you don’t find this in any other kinds of Japanese restaurants. Does anyone know why?🍵🐟 ~ I stumbled across a school choir performance during a stroll around the city. I’m guessing they were performing as part of the children’s day celebrations - children’s day is officially tomorrow in Japan. Traditionally, koi flags are hung as a symbol of bravery as koi swim against the flow of rivers 🎏 ~ I finally had a chance to try sit down in a garden facing teahouse, and try some raw wagashi 上生和菓子 with matcha. This sweet was made of red and white beans, sculpted into the shape of a little bush. It really was a work of art! I also love how the wagashi matched the flowers in the garden. The whole experience was so soothing and relaxing 🌱 ~ I made one final stop to the Higashi Chaya district to pick up some souvenirs (and sample some myself to help me decide of course!). In the end I decided on the local speciality Kintsuba 金つば. Its large shiny adzuki beans looked like glistening red pebbles in the sunlight ☀️ . . . . . #tea #rabbit #tearabbit #japan #kanazawa #sushi #matcha #kintsuba #wagashi #greentea #rabbitventures (at Kanazawa, Ishikawa)
