What kind of sweets should I prepare for a traditional Japanese wedding...♡
Gifts given to express gratitude to those who have helped us. While there are many cute gifts like tea and cookies, for a Japanese wedding, I want to choose adorable wagashi sweets that perfectly match the traditional attire, shrines, and Shinto ceremonies♡
