Chrysanthemum is a symbol of good luck and longevity.

経験を積んだ菓子職人が錬切餡の外皮に、

一刀一刀精密な菊の花びらを彫っていきます。

日本では、手に入れるのが難しい『切り菊』ですが、

唐和家の創始者・エミリが、国民のため自ら腕を振るいます。

菊の花は、吉祥長寿の象徴であり、先祖に思いを馳せる

重陽節（旧暦の９月９日）には、欠かせない花です。

秋分のころには、至る所で菊花大会が行われ、

誰の菊が一番すばらしいか競います。

えみり Emily

The enlarged version of Kikuhime that Taiwanese friends are most familiar with is one of the "Hasamikiku" (Chrysanthemum Cutting) techniques required in the Japanese Wagashi Skills Test Level 1. Cutting from top to bottom is called "the upper section". Kikuhime is deeply loved by religious people.

May the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas protect all mankind, and hope that in the future world, everyone will have correct faith and righteous thoughts, there will be no wars and disputes, no disasters and sufferings, and a world of peace and joy will be achieved.

Things to note:

• Buddha-gashi is a Jonamagashi made with bean paste. It will easily dry out when exposed to the air. Therefore, it is recommended to keep it in the original transparent packaging box during the process of offering to Buddha. Please make sure the transparent cover is tightly closed to avoid water loss.
• In order to avoid collision damage during transportation, the bottom of the Buddha-gashi is fixed with a plastic three-prong bracket. If you need to move the Buddha-gashi, please remove or cut off the bracket from the outside of the bottom of the box when the Buddha-gashi is in a semi-frozen state before taking it out of the box.
• It is recommended that the Buddha-gashi be kept at room temp. for no more than 2 hours and consumed on the same day.
• Color deviations may occur due to various reasons such as hand dyeing, photography, and individual computer settings. Therefore, the pictures are for reference only, and everything is subject to the actual product.
