By infusing modern elements into traditional sweets, wagashi has taken the spotlight this Valentine's Day, reshaping its image from old-fashioned to trendy.
Japan is celebrating Aerosmith's 50th anniversary and the release of its new album "Greatest Hits" with vocalist Steven Tyler's favorite sweet: taiyaki.
A sweets maker known for this type of treat is ‘Tabemasu’, a company that recreates all kinds of famous characters in traditional Japanese sweet form.
