New Year Plum

New Year Plum しょうがつばい Shogatsubai

Flower language: clear heart

Pure as jade and clear as ice, the winter plum blooms in the first moon

With slanting shadows, solitary it grows

Gazing afar into the snow, it steps into early spring

As a subtle fragrance faintly float

- "Wagashi Bible", p.32

This wagashi is a nerikiri classic, showing the partial background of plum blossom petals and the foreground of small plum blossoms dotted on the branches.

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.
