Like an ice... so beautiful... Do you believe that this is a kind of rice cake ? The name is  Kuzu-mochi . It is made with just starchy kuzu powder*, sugar and water. * Kuzu powder= a natural and unprocessed powder extracted from the kuzu plants Although this Kuzu-mochi includes Anko (sweet beans paste), sometimes it is eaten with Kinako(soy powder) or brown sugar syrup.

Taiyaki

Image
Have you ever eaten Taiyaki ? Taiyaki is a fish-shaped waffle-like cake stuffed with Anko(sweet bean paste) and one of the traditional Japanese sweets. It literally means "a baked sea bream". Tai = a sea bream (In Japan, it is thought that a sea bream is supposed to bring happiness) Yaki = baked You would be able to understand why Taiyaki has such a name if you see the shape. Traditionally, Taiyaki stuffed with Anko, but over time, custard, chocolate, or more recently, cheese has been added. I like Anko or custard. If you get Taiyaki, you can enjoy twice: the looks and taste ! Please eat freshly baked Taiyaki !
