Kameya Mannendo has announced on its official website that "Waka Ayu" will be available as a summer Japanese confectionery. As a seasonal cool confectionery, it will be available from June 1 to July 31.

The product, which is sold in stores around the time of early summer, is popular in many places as a seasonal tradition because it is shaped like an ayu (sweetfish), a fish that comes up the river at this time of the year.

Kameya Mannendo's "Wakaayu" (young ayu)
