One more thing that Kanazawa is famous for is gold leaf.
Incidentally, approximately 99% of Japan's golf leaf is produced in Kanazawa.
It is no surprise that gold leaf is widely used here.
For instance, you might have noticed that the crab I had was littered with gold leaf:
Furthermore, the plastic food models are also laced with gold leaf:
And when you have the traditional arts of gold leaf production and traditional Japanese tea ceremony in a single place, you are bound to get some extravagance.
And this is one of them. Gold sweets for the Japanese tea ceremony.
Yes, that is a sweet with pure gold in it.
How did it taste?
Like a big mouthful of luxury.
A special thanks to the lovely people who bought this for me.
