I ordered some sweets for the tea party!

a piece of cake called Rakugan)

During the recent heavy snowfall, a neighbor gave me these Rakugans from a Japanese confectionary shop in Nagano Prefecture.

 

It is a 100-year old traditional snack made of powdered peas, sugar and water.

 

This Japanese sweets shop is located in Obuse, Nagano Prefecture, and is famous for its chestnut confections!

 

Obuse is jam-packed in the fall!

 

They look like sweet crackers!

 

Glad my sister and mom shoveled the snow so we could get some yummy treats!
