【Original】Calla Lily かいう Kaiu

Flower language: sincerity, elegance, like-mindedness

 

In the quiet hazy mountain valley

In flowering fields of white blossoms

Looking at the Buddha's flame buds from a distance

Morning dew dripping like Guanyin

 

Teacher Emily says:

This "Calla Lily" is my original creation after I returned to Taiwan. When I was designing, I was stuck on how to express the delicacy of the calla lily. If it had a filling, it would be a round ball, so I decided to omit the filling and only use the nerikiri skin. This was a really bold and unconventional attempt, but it was an unexpected success. Using the web of the hand to create the flower shape maximizes the expression of the natural curvature of the spathe of the calla lily.

Things to note:

  • In order to preserve freshness and prevent collision, Toukaya wagashi is stored in -24°C freezer after production, and is shipped by Black Cat Frozen Home Delivery.
  • Thaw at room temperature for about 40 minutes before eating.
  • Jonamagashi is prone to drying and cracking if exposed to the air for too long. Therefore, it is recommended to keep them in the original transparent packaging box during the thawing process.
  • Jonamagashi can be moved to a plate in the frozen state, and then covered with the original transparent lid. Just remove the lid before eating.
