ABOUT ANKO FLOWER®

Wagashi is a traditional Japanese art that celebrates the beauty of nature and the changing seasons.

For centuries, Japanese sweets have been inspired by seasonal flowers and scenery, such as cherry blossoms, chrysanthemums, and autumn leaves.

Known as “edible art,” wagashi brings the beauty of Japan’s seasons to life
