Itotatsu's blue and white nerikiri is made from mugikogashi (麦こがし 'roasted barley flour'). The sweet is twisted into a lily bulb shape.

The wafers themselves come in countless shapes and sizes.

Itotasu are well-known for their 'bear monaka' that change each season. For Mother's Day a carnation design on the belly!🧸❤️

Decent quality matcha was difficult to find over here for a few years. In those summers I mixed a cold drink from bad matcha, lime juice, vanilla, sugar, and cold water. Much better than throwing it away and having nothing!

Kinton (金団) are small balls of sweet bean paste covered in a colourful, shredded type of dough (commonly made from yam).

Iwashimizu (岩清水) is a refreshing blue wave of jelly yōkan (羊羹) and chewy seppei (雪平 - a type of gyūhi mochi kneaded with egg whites and bean paste) over white bean paste.
