Purple Rose ばら Bara

Flower language: respect, noble, mystery

 

There are no records of roses in ancient Japan. It wasn't until the Edo period, through trade between China and Europe, that roses began to appear in Japan. During the Meiji era, with the introduction of Western culture, horticultural roses entered Japan, becoming a symbol of Western-style gardens and the aristocracy. In Japanese culture, purple carries the imagery of elegance and nobility. Purple roses are often used to express respect and are also considered a symbol of splendor and mystery.

 

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.
