Tsubaki つばき

Flower language: My destiny is in your hands

 

Splendid in form, tragic in destiny

Falling with a hero's fearless grace

Cherished by endless souls of noble mind

An image so breathlessly beautiful

Echoing eternally within our hearts

 

Emily Sensei says:

Tsubaki is one of many camellia species. Its petals are thick and vibrantly colorful. When it withers, the whole flower falls off, which is very heroic. There are more than 2,000 species of camellias cultivated in Japan. They are used not only for garden decoration, but also for solemn occasions such as tea ceremonies and festivals. The famous "Hundred Tsubaki Picture Scroll" records the decoration rules of various Tsubaki flowers, which has been loved by Japanese literati since ancient times.

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.
