Traditional Japanese Candy (wagashi) is produced from natural plant ingredients. The name of a classic wagashi is usually the name of a natural wonder or a word from a classical work of art. Candies made from other ingredients or coming from Okinawa, China, The United States, or Europe are not called wagashi, but for example Yogashi.
Japanese candies are made only from natural plant ingredients, based from:
- Cane Sugar
- Azuki beans
