SIMOGYO Ward, Kyoto City. The long-established Japanese confectionery shop "WAKASAYA HISASHIGE" has been in business for over 300 years since its founding in 1716.
The main character in this video is MICHIKO KANAZAWA, the eighth-generation owner of this shop, a Japanese sweets craftsman.

At WAKASAYA HISASHIGE, their main product is HIGASHI. They also make Japanese sweets such as SUHAMA and MONAKA. KANAZAWA protects the traditional Japanese sweets of the store. However, she is creating new and unique Japanese sweets such as HIGASHI, which uses edible indigo in the shape of a rose, and SUHAMA, which uses nuts.

KANAZAWA has another face apart from the Japanese sweets craftsman. That is..."Indian Dancer". KANAZAWA has the experience of studying abroad in India. After studying dance in earnest there, she returned to Japan. She is a professional dancer, performing and teaching dance.

KANAZAWA has a unique background as a Japanese Japanese sweets craftsman and an Indian dancer. In 2019, she created a new Indian-themed Japanese sweet.

In this video, you can see why KANAZAWA, a Japanese Japanese sweets craftsman, decided to pursue Indian dance. We also get to know her thoughts on the family business of making Japanese sweets.
