I’ve made friends with a bus driver on my route, and we often talk about food! His speciality is Japanese food and mine is more eclectic (mainly yeast baking and American foods at the moment). We’ve agreed to trade food items! So today, he brought me a strange Japanese sweet.
The first layer is spongy and soft, not at all what I was expecting. It’s quite sweet. Then there was a marshmellow layer, which I thought was the innermost layer. Then, in the centre, there was something yellow and soft and gooey, and I thought perhaps it might be made from bean paste or the like.
It was tasty, but I’m not sure I’d choose it over another sweet. Well worth trying once, and I might choose it over green tea icecream (which I really shouldn’t have anyway due to the caffeine) next time I go to a Japanese restaurant.
