The last course of the tasting trail which is dessert brought us to Hashi Japanese Restaurant which is helmed by Tadashi Takahashi. We were very privilege to have the Wagashi that is flown daily from Ganyuudou, Shizuoka to Hashi which is a traditional handcrafted sweets and desserts for 5 generations since the Meiji era, 1868, inheriting the craftmanship from generation to generation. 5th generation Master Wagashi Chef Hiromori Uchida keeps the tradition of handcrafting to shape the mochi (finely milled flour) into flowers, such as cherry blossom, chrysanthemum, lily of the valley, and peony.
