"Wagashi" is a traditional Japanese confectionery. It can be considered as a type of "home-style" dessert, similar to Thai desserts like "Thong Yip" and "Thong Yod". If you are tired of Western-style pastries and bakery items, you should try some traditional Japanese sweets. Personally, I like them because they are not too sweet, so you can enjoy them without feeling overwhelmed.

Wagashi, a traditional Japanese confectionery, boasts a wide variety of types, each unique to its region of origin.

This restaurant was first seen on the "Swap Shifts Travel" page. Normally, I don't share travel pages very often. To be honest, I choose not to like travel pages because I'm afraid, afraid that I'll travel too much. I mostly like pages of people I know. But this restaurant, I couldn't help but share it because I personally love to eat sweets. Any kind of sweets, I'll try them all. But mostly, I eat Western-style sweets, like bakery items. But this restaurant is interesting because it's a traditional Japanese dessert that I feel like you have to fly there to taste it authentically. But when I found this restaurant, I was like, "Hey, I don't have to fly all the way there, I can eat it here!" But it took me so long to get there. I actually wanted to go last year, but the restaurant was closed. On the 29th, I couldn't go because it was New Year's Day and the restaurant was closed. I couldn't go again.

This time, I was really determined to go to this restaurant. No matter how far away it was, I would go. I even drove to Mahasarakham to eat there before. This time, I was really determined. I arrived at the restaurant around 4 pm and there was no one there. I tried to ask if they were open, and they said that I was very lucky because the Khunying's family had just returned from visiting their home in Chonburi. It wasn't even an hour ago. I was a little hesitant, but the restaurant said they would open for service anyway since I was already there.

The extensive dessert menu features a wide variety of treats, each with its own unique story and preparation method. This diversity makes the establishment particularly intriguing. The absence of other customers during my visit allowed for an engaging conversation about the shop's history and philosophy. The concept of " ..." particularly resonated with me.

"Family time comes before money" because the shop is Khunying's house, which has been converted into a small bakery next to her house. From the starting point of making and distributing to neighbors in the village, it has become a warm "Wagashi" bakery.

It is recommended to like the shop's page first and then inquire whether the shop is open on the day you plan to visit. This is because sometimes the owner has to take care of her children's school activities or return home to visit her family.

It is highly recommended to inquire before visiting to avoid disappointment. This establishment is considered a potential prototype for wagashi sweets, such as water drop mochi, and other locations as well, as the lady teaches confectionery making. The shop focuses more on teaching confectionery making than on selling sweets.

Please note that some of our pastries are made fresh, such as the dango, which may require a 10-15 minute wait.

Personal summary:

Go ahead, this restaurant is delicious and you can eat as much as you want. It's good because you won't get full easily, so you can try many other dishes. As for the recommendations, you must try them, you must try them all.

• Sakura water drop mochi

- Warabi mochi

• Dango

"Family comes first."

1. A Conversation with Family at Homu:

My initial intention in visiting Homu was to enjoy their delicious pastries. However, the most memorable aspect of my experience was the emphasis placed on family care and quality time. The pastries were not only delectable and rich in history, but the conversation with the owner and her partner revealed the secret behind their exceptional taste: a genuine passion for family and a dedication to creating a welcoming atmosphere. This realization made the experience truly worthwhile.

The love within the family is what makes the pastries here so delicious.

Lucky me! The shop was open even though I just got back from Chonburi less than an hour ago. As a result, there were no customers at all.

And even more fortunate is the opportunity to hear the wonderful stories of this place.

The bakery was filled with a warm and inviting aroma, as if visiting a friend's home.

The owner converted the garden area next to the house into a small shop.

After ordering four desserts in the first round, these two arrived first. They are beautifully presented and each has a different way of eating them.

The first step is to enjoy the mochi with three components simultaneously: the mochi itself, the syrup, and the soybean powder, also known as kinako.

"He will be a hero."

This is the first time I've tried this, and it's delicious! Personally, I like it because it's not too sweet and I can eat it all the time. It's like eating custard, if all the ingredients are combined well.

This is the first time I've eaten this, and the first time I've seen it. I must say, I'm very excited. I'm even more excited than when I ate the water drop mochi. The more I think about the dessert after this, the more excited I get.

The cake is made with milk cream, soy powder, and cane sugar. This is good because it is not too sweet.

"Warabi mochi"

This is incredibly delicious, melting in your mouth. It's made from Warabi starch (I've never heard of this starch before) and coated in ground soybeans. When you eat it, the shop recommends dropping 3-4 drops of sugarcane juice onto the Warabi mochi piece you're about to eat, and then enjoy. Don't pour it all over.

The tea here is complimentary and absolutely delicious. It's a courtesy from the restaurant, and they encourage you to try it. The tea pairs perfectly with the pastries, and it's a delightful combination. In fact, I usually avoid sugary drinks when I have pastries, opting for plain water or tea instead.

"Sakura Dango"

You can either pour the (probably) cherry blossom syrup on it, or you can dip it in the cherry blossom. The cherry blossoms are edible, but I don't know what they taste like. Haha. I guess it's like eating vegetables, but this is more enjoyable. Wait about 10-15 minutes, no need to rush, just sit back and relax and listen to some music.

"Sakura Mochi"

This is absolutely delicious! I wasn't planning on ordering anything else, but after chatting with the owner, I asked what they had available. They had just returned from visiting relatives in Chonburi and had only been home for an hour. It turned out they had this dish, so I ordered it and it was amazing!

The pickled sakura blossoms are edible. They are imported from Japan. You should wash them thoroughly to remove excess acidity before consumption.

The last item we ordered was the traditional dango. The shop owner warned us that it might not be to our taste as it is not quite a dessert.

After trying both, I and my partner personally prefer the savory soy sauce flavor of the Zaru Soba over the Sakura Dango. It was truly delicious.

Before leaving, I bought some Sakura Mochi to take home, but honestly, it's best enjoyed fresh at the shop.

This restaurant is incredibly cozy, like visiting a friend's home. On the day I went, there were no other customers, so I had the opportunity to chat with the owner's family. We talked about work and balancing it with family time, which gave me some valuable insights, especially as I'm newly married.
