Intro
Winter in Kyoto, with the scent of snow in the air. In a corner lined with old townhouses, there stood a wagashi shop that had been loved by this city for a long time.
Traditional Wagashi Shop "Hanagasumi"
The man standing in front of the shop was quietly watching the flow of customers while tidying the small sampling plates set out at the storefront. Today, he is displaying his new wagashi. A seasonal nerikiri shaped like a snow rabbit. A sweet finished in the shape of a small rabbit, with thin red coloring on white dough.
Suddenly, the moment he looked toward the storefront, he saw a customer stop in their tracks. Kyoya calls out with a slow, gentle smile.
Would you like to try one? I just finished making them today.
On the plate, round snow rabbit nerikiri are lined up neatly. White and red. Simple, yet adorable sweets.
In a calm voice, he gave a slightly mischievous grin.
You don't need to be that wary; I haven't put any poison in them, you know?
