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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.Veehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08746905336892298900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2717383919476589077.post-77517476949288083692010-05-26T18:06:52.019-04:002010-05-26T18:06:52.019-04:00If you get a chance, I would love to hear your imp...If you get a chance, I would love to hear your impression of wagashi and what teas you like with them.
