Without any preservatives, bleaching agents or food colorings. They draw clear water for only necessary amount from well every morning, and spend time and effort to make these Mitsugashi (sweetened food). The vegetable flavors are embraced as they are in sugar, I feel like to eat vegetables rather than sweets!

As well as the bean snacks, these small boxes with seasonal illustrations are superb. Skilled workers of Kutani pottery draw them one by one using the method of 'Katagami suri' (rubbing colors over the patterns). There're so many kinds, such as standard tastes and limited ones that I wanted to buy all for 'omiyage'
