Pokémon Delights in Kyoto

Wagashi, traditional Japanese-style confectionaries, are usually consumed with tea and are pleasing not only to the palate but to the eye as well. This feature is no more apparent than in traditional sweets from Kyoto called kyogashi, which usually incorporate seasonal imagery, classical Japanese poetry motifs, or anything else that’s contemporarily culturally relevant in their design. 🍵🎋

So what happens when you combine decades-old craftsmanship with a modern pop culture phenomenon? Kyoto’s Shichijo Kanshundo confectionary shop, open since 1865, is teaming up yet again with the Pokémon franchise to deliver some summer-themed sweet treats. If the previous collaborations are any indication, we’re in for a playful yet refined snack time this season. 🌟🍡
