Honami Imayasu | Kako 176<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hello! I moved here from Shiga Prefecture last year, and I now make wagashi<\/em> at Cafe & Restaurant Kako 176 in the Hamasaki area of Hagi. Here, I strive to make wagashi<\/em> that capture Hagi’s seasonal beauty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope you enjoy the rich tales behind the Eight Views of Hagi, paired with delicate Japanese confections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
