Kaminazuki: Month of the waxing moon
'Kinton' is a classic & formal type of sweet.
Using vegetables, this is kind of a new-wave 'Kinton'.
ingredients: outside - pod soy beans and sweet potato
inside - white beans and Kaki/persimmon
In Japan, it is said that the most beautiful moon appears in autumn.
We truly love 'tsukimi'(moon-viewing)!
Not only Jugoya(the harvest moon) but also Jusanya(the waxing moon) has been appreciated. Jusanya is also called Mame-meigetsu (bean harvest moon) as pod soybeans are offered to the waxing moon.
