Here are this month's offerings of traditional Japanese sweets.

Confectionery name: "Morning Glory"
Red Nerikiri: White bean paste filling
Price: 540 yen (tax included)

Morning glories are one of the symbols of summer.
While expressing beauty that can withstand the heat,
Shaped like a fan for added coolness
I hope to be able to express it.

As its name suggests, the morning glory blooms at dawn.
They're starting to bloom.
These flowers only last a day and wilt by midday.
However, because they bloom one after another, summer
You can enjoy it throughout the entire period.
It is also considered one of the most developed ornamental plants in Japan.
I was told to plant morning glory seeds in a pot when I was in elementary school.
I remember sowing them and observing their growth.
There are probably a lot of people there.
It is a flower that is familiar to everyone.
I think so.
They start blooming around July, in blue, purple, and white.
Various flowers such as red, pink, and multi-colored flowers
The colors give a feeling of coolness.
Even on the hottest summer days, morning glories bloom.
Looking at it makes me forget the heat for a little while.
They'll give it to me.

At the Kitaya family's shop, four types of traditional Japanese sweets are sold every month.
I'm making (nerikiri) sweets.
Reservations and custom orders are also available.
