Autumn
"This vibrant orange wagashi represents Kaki (Persimmon), the iconic fruit of Japanese autumn. As the season deepens, our mountains turn red and gold, and ripe persimmons vividly decorate the gardens of traditional farmhouses. For Japanese people, this is a heartwarming, nostalgic scenery of autumn."
