Ikiya - Japan in Treviso
@ikiya@mstdn.business
We are a small #Japanese shop located in Treviso, near Venice, and we focus on bringing to Italy a selection of Japanese teas (such as #matcha), ingredients for your recipes, #kimono and #haori, handmade pottery and much more. On our Mastodon account we want to share Japanese culture, history and curiosities of our products, and news about our shop in #Italy. We ship to all EU countries! #JapaneseTea | #JapaneseFood | #JapaneseCulture | #Japan

Today we’re telling you about a lesser-known yet truly traditional #Japanese dessert: warabi mochi.
Unlike many more familiar #wagashi , they stand out for their unique texture—soft, delicate, and almost jelly-like—made from a plant-based starch similar to agar. They are then coated in kinako, a roasted soybean flour with a warm, slightly nutty flavor.
Their sweetness is subtle, designed to accompany tea without overpowering it.

😋SWEETS🍡
From mid-April 'tsutsuji kinton' (つつじきんとん) are served in the tearoom. These sweets either mimic small round azalea bushes, or flowers growing out of rock crevices ('iwane-tsutsuji' 岩根つつじ 'azalea rooted amongst rocks').
