Abstract

The culture of eating (shoku bunka) in Japan has become known to the world community today. These include sweet cakes known in Japanese as wagashi, which are usually served at the same time as the tea ceremony (chanoyu). Wagashi has various types, and is made based on the conditions and philosophy contained in the maker itself. In the drama watashitachiwa douka shiteiru the characters who make wagashi convey the meaning and background of making the wagashi. From the meaning and background of making this wagashi there are Japanese cultural values contained in it. As a result, 18 wagashi data have their respective values. The most aesthetic values found are 10 data, social values are 6 data, loyalty values are 5 data, responsibility values are 3 data, loyalty/ trust value and creativity value are 2 data. From the discussion, it can be concluded that from the whole wagashi made almost all refer to the beauty of the manufacture. In addition, the philosophical strength of the reason and purpose of making is also very pronounced in its manufacture.
