Wikipedia definition
2. Higashi (food)Higashi, is a type of wagashi, which is dry and contains very little moisture, and thus keeps relatively longer than other kinds of wagashi. This word can be said as the antonym of namagashi, and the definition can include rakugan, konpeito, senbei, arare, and so on (though usually senbei and other alikes are not sweet and thus the word kashi/wagashi is not so fitting).
