Almost all of Japan's traditional wagashi sweets are filled with anko (read bean paste) but ohagi (aka botamochi) is special, both in terms of taste and the fact that it's very often used as offering at the spring and the autumnal equinox. Unlike many other wagashi, ohagi isn't particularly pretty but it certainly is delicious and usually comes in two variations: one with anko on the outside and one rolled in kinako or roasted soybean flour. These are the two types that you get with the Kameyama Ohagi Candle (Set of 2)!
Wagashi often come with a pedigree (traditional confectioners in Japan can go back centuries) but so do candles: the Kameyama Ohagi Candles are created by Osaka candle manufacturer founded in 1927 and is a true showcase of its amazing craftsmanship. Every detail of a ohagi has been meticulously replicated, so this 124 x 102 x 41 mm (4.9 x 4 x 1.6") plate and two-candle set could really fool you into thinking it's the real thing!
