The Wagashi (Japanese Style Sweets) Seem to Help You Realize Your Dream

I’d like to introduce to you some Japanese sweets which have “Daruma doll” motif. You know what, Daruma is a lucky charm doll which springs back upright again and again even if knocked over. Daruma dolls are seen as a symbol of perseverance and good luck, making them a popular gift of encouragement.

The Japanese sweets are also known as “bolo”; they are baked confections whose ingredients are wheat flour, eggs and sugar. The Japanese sweets have a flaky, crunchy texture and natural sweetness. Yummy! I believe you’ll love the baked goods. A smiling face, a cool face and a thinking face…
