Introducing a Long-beloved Japanese Confectionery from an Established Sapporo Shop (Part 2) – District 10 Special
An announcement about the arrival of new tea caught my eye. What truly enhances the refreshing taste of tea is, of course, traditional Japanese sweets. With visually stunning wagashi such as jellied desserts, manju, daifuku, and monaka, these sweets delight both our eyes and taste buds as we aim for the “ultimate tea time.” I searched for exquisite items in a long-established Japanese sweet shop in Sapporo.
