Spring Cakes 春陽點心

This is made of white bean powder and sugar.
 The shape of this cake is a butterbur sprout. It opens in early March. Tasting this bud shaped candy with green tea, people conceive the arrival of spring with eyes and a tongue. 這個點心的形狀是蜂斗葉(款冬) 蕾。
This is a cherry rice cake using a salted cherry leaf. The leaf keeps fine fragrance, makes us feel spring has come. 這個稱呼櫻餅,用糯米做的,表面用一片櫻花葉子包裝。
