Local Souvenir Selection] “Hana Usagi” and “Warabimochi Baum” from Kanazawa Souvenirs

Posted on 2023-03-07 by Editor in Chief

More and more mild days are approaching, as we can feel the arrival of spring. According to the Japan Weather Association and other sources, this year’s cherry blossoms will arrive earlier than usual, starting on March 14 in Fukuoka, followed by Tokyo on March 18, and Kanazawa City in Ishikawa Prefecture, home to the famous cherry blossom viewing spot Kenrokuen, will also see the cherry blossom front around March 27. In this issue, we would like to introduce some souvenirs from Kanazawa, where the culture of chanoyu (tea ceremony) and the tradition of confectionery making are still alive and well, perfect as gifts for this season.

Moroeya “Hana-Usagi” (rakugan)

Kanazawa is one of Japan’s top three confectionery destinations, along with Kyoto and Matsue. Kanazawa is known for its wagashi, including the Kami-no-gami sweets served at tea ceremonies.

For those who are unfamiliar with the high standards of Japanese confectionery and tea ceremony, we highly recommend the “Hana Usagi” (flower rabbit). Moroeya, which was founded in 1849 at the end of the Edo period (1603-1868), has been carrying on the tradition of Kaga’s famous sweets ever since.

The popular “Hana-Usagi” is made from dried dried dried rice and wasanbon sugar, pressed into a small flower shape, and dried. The name “Hana-Usagi” comes from its resemblance to a rabbit wrapped in Japanese paper. The elegant sweetness that melts in the mouth is superb, and the traditional manufacturing method and attention to the ingredients can be felt.
