🎣😋WONDROUS WAKA-AYU🐟🍡

Summer must almost be here, because one of my favourite sweets has returned to stores...the adorable 'waka-ayu' (若鮎 'young sweetfish').

Fifth Month rain-
gold and silver fish
rejoicing
五月雨に金魚銀魚のきげん哉
-Kobayashi Issa (小林一茶), 1821.
Trans. David Lanoue.

Waka-ayu are typically made from pancakes wrapped over a chewy rice cake filling. They are folded to resemble a fish, with the features branded on.

Nao-san takes a break from the scorching June heat. Rainy season marks the start of Kyoto's tropical summer.

A traditional sweet designed to resemble a fan, a nod to the fierce summer heat. This one is emblazoned with sweetfish.

An unusually pale waka-ayu sweet, bought by Nao-san for an outdoor tea ceremony by the river.
