Oh, Vee - I'm so excited for you (and a little jealous!) Safe travels!
If you get a chance, I would love to hear your impression of wagashi and what teas you like with them. Do you know if it's possible to find Japanese traditional sweets outside of Japan?
Hi, Nigel! There are many types of wagashi, some of which I love and some of which I think are just OK. They're ideal with matcha and other Japanese green teas, but I could maybe see pairing some of them with a Darjeeling first flush, a green Taiwanese oolong or a Nilgiri, too.
You can get them outside of Japan. I've been to a wagashi shop in London. They also exist in San Francisco, NYC and elsewhere.
Some cities' local Japanese or international nonprofits offer wagashi making workshops. Also, most health food stores have mochi, which you can use to make simple wagashi at home.
