Representation of hydrangea wet with rain dew
The hydrangea kinton (hydrangea kinton) made of matcha green tea that resembles a dignified blooming flower, hydrangea-colored crushed jelly that shines like an aurora borealis, hydrangea leaf-shaped matcha cookies, and fresh blueberries are all carefully layered to represent hydrangeas wet with rain dew. The delicate harmony of the various ingredients, centering on matcha green tea, creates a tasteful Japanese dish.
