Komatsu's Specialties
Wagashi
Ishikawa is known to have a strong tradition of producing and consuming wagashi sweets, with the practice of gifting wagashi a habitual part of everyday exchanges.
With a tea culture as deeply rooted as ours, Komatsu is of course no exception in nurturing the many wagashi artisans needed to craft these delicate treats that are often as anticipated as the tea they embellish at tea ceremonies.
While many of these family-run businesses have carried on the sweet craft for generations, their artistic creations are anything but dated, constantly evolved to suit the seasons and times..
