And what better sweets to enjoy with a trip to the 'Silver Pavilion' than Tawaraya Yoshitomi's (俵屋吉富) 'ginshadan' (銀沙灘).
Flavoured with hama-natto (浜納豆), the higashi (干菓子) have a sweet and salty taste that pairs perfectly with matcha🍵🙌

As the bigger sweets were intended for display they typically featured auspicious motifs, such as cranes, pines and turtles.

When finished the 'sculptures' were often coloured with edible paint to enhance the designs🎨🖌️
