Koi

Brocaded Carp にしきごい Nishikigoi

Symbolic meaning: Noble, auspicious, and abundant every year

Sparkling scales prettier than the summer lotus

Plump bodies swaying among the lotus heads

Water rippling shimmering green

Dancing through the willows in the spring breeze

-"Wagashi Bible", p.58

Midsummer is a paradise for Japanese little boys,

Carp streamers can be seen flying everywhere,

Wishing them a happy and healthy growth

真夏は、日本男児の天国です。

至る所で、鯉のぼりがはためき

男児の健やかな健康を祈ります。

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.
