The spirit of valuing each season is deeply rooted in Japanese culture — even when enjoying snacks or oyatsu. Wagashi or Japanese traditional sweets are an expression of the natural wonders of the seasons and associated perceptions in the Japanese psyche.

This is especially true of Spring. As temperatures begin to warm, people in Japan look forward to the blooming of the sakura or cherry blossoms.

Oyatsu Aoi is bringing the sweet flavors of Japanese springtime to Houston through specially-crafted Wagashi Box Sets.

The Wagashi Box Set contains the following items:

• Ichigo-Daifuku (mochi wrapped around a fresh whole strawberry with anko red bean paste) | 1 piece

• Hanami Dango (mochi dumplings in strawberry, plain, and matcha flavors on a skewer) | 1 piece

• Sakura-Mochi (mochi filled with anko, wrapped in a pickled sakura leaf) | 2 pieces
