Heike pie

Do you know "The Tale of Heike" ? The Tale of the Heike is an epic military saga describing the rise and fall of the powerful 12th-century Heike clan.
I must confess that I understand it no better than you.

This pie seems to make the shield which Heike used. On the piecrust, there are granulated sugar and raisin. I think it is a pie for families.

Loquat Yokan

Aug 4, 2013

Yokan is a thick jellied sweet made of azuki bean paste, kanten and sugar. The common yokan is a black color, but this is transparent orange. This is because the jam of the loquat is contained. And this yokan made of white bean jam instead of normal azuki bean paste.

This yokan is cooked in Tomiura district of Chiba. In this district, a climate is warm, and a delicious loquat is made.I do not know whether a loquat is eaten any place other than Japan. The loquat is fruit of the early summer. It is very refined and smells sweet subtly.

For a foreign person, yokan may be strange food. But, Please try it if you have the chance.

Doraemon Candy

Aug 2, 2013

This is the candy which I got by a Malaysian souvenir. And It is a Japanese cartoon character "Doraemon". It is a popular comic following more than 30 years in Japan. The chief character of these comics is a cat form robot called "Doraemon". Do you know about him? He comes over from the future of the 22nd century and saves a boy with various tools. And the boy's name is "Nobita". When he has been troubled, he always call for help to "Doraemon" immediately. So I do not like him very much.
"Doraemon" seems to be particularly popular in Southeast Asia. I am glad that I have you like a Japanese character abroad even if I dislike it.

About the candy, I thought that a thing made in Japan was more delicious. The overseas sweets are also interesting. But after all I realized high quality of the Japanese sweets again.
