My Favorite Sappari Japanese Sweets

Kyoto and Nara are famous for a variety of sweets which combines good things about Japanese and Western sweets, like Matcha Goma mousse cakes.
 
However, I like sappari sweets much more than these “fatty sweets.” (I'm sorry, but any sweets containing cream and/or chocolate are fatty for me.) 
 
Sappari means less fatty, but not only that. Sappari sweets are made from a few simple ingredients, such as flour, sugar, sesame, green tea powder, kudzu powder, sweet bean paste and/or sometimes fruits, and not too, but naturally sweet and among other things, let my tongue explore the subtle and natural flavor of ingredients without paralyzing my palates.   

Here are a few of my favorite sappari Japanese sweets:
