Matsue Wagashi (Tea Culture)
Matsue is a town of Japanese sweets, known as one of the 'Three Great Confectionery Districts of Japan' along with Kyoto and Kanazawa. This status is rooted in the deep tea ceremony culture established by the tea master daimyo, Lord Matsudaira Fumai. The 7th feudal lord, Matsudaira Harutaka (Lord Fumai), loved the tea ceremony and created numerous tea sweets that suited his personal tastes. This tradition has been passed down for over two hundred years, and many long-established wagashi shops still line the streets of the city today. Famous sweets such as Yamakawa, Wakakusa, and Nanano Sato, which are closely associated with Lord Fumai, were also nurtured by this culture. Taking the time to enjoy high-quality seasonal sweets (jo-namagashi) alongside matcha is a luxury unique to Matsue. When visiting the tea capital of Matsue, touring wagashi shops is one of the highlights to look forward to.
