Even during the rainy season, wisdom beautifully brightens daily life. 🌸 From June to July, Japan experiences a rainy season called "Tsuyu." While prolonged rain can feel gloomy, Japan embraces this weather as a seasonal transition. Visually vibrant Wagashi (traditional sweets) reflecting June’s nature brings richness to life. Creations showcasing artisans' delicate skills remain widely popular, such as "Minazuki," whose triangular shape represents ice to ward off heat and its azuki bean topping dispels evil, and "Hydrangea sweets," using translucent agar to express glistening petals unique to this season. While aligning with nature's shifts and enjoying seasonal changes, why not add a visually delightful traditional sweet to your teatime today? ☕️ 💐
