Today, we held the Hatsugin-kai of the Mita Ginyu-kai.
I brought in some Japanese sweets Fuku-gaki) from Sanda Bunsendo, and everyone enjoyed them.
In addition to their artistic appearance, they had a wonderful texture that could be mistaken for a real dried persimmon, and they were indeed the taste of a long-established shop, I learned a lot.

Fukugaki “persimmons” originated in Japan and have traveled to China and Europe, where they are popular as Japan's representative “fruit”.
Dried persimmons, which absorb the sun's rays and become sweet, have been especially prized since ancient times, and are an indispensable part of the Airai decoration of good luck charms and Kagamimochi decorations. It is said that even in China, the “persimmon frost” on the surface of dried persimmons was prized as a substitute for sugar.
Bunseindo's “Fuki-gaki” is made with the highest quality bean-paste persimmon, and is said to have been used as a tea ceremony confection by the tea ceremony master, Rikyu Seni, to make the appearance of a "dried persimmon.
