Are you saying that a piece of promotional material whose purpose is to promote beautiful and delicious Japanese treats, would deliberately mislead a trusting public as to their low fatness?!?! For shame. I choose to believe the JLGC on this one... Lauren- according to this:

It's candy people, and that bean paste is made of red beans + sugar. Sorry to sound harsh, but it drives me crazy that people still think that low fat = low calories = somehow good for you despite the other crap in it. wagashi is DEFINITELY not low in calories.

I can't tell if they're kept on ice. Does anyone know how long they might last- i.e., until the weekend? Or is it like marzipan and will keep indefinitely? These are so cute.
