Here I tell you about “Mikawamaki”, Mikawa is one of the regions in Aichi prefecture I live. I also live in Nishio, which is famous for powdered green tea.
Mikawamaki is made from strained bean paste and a sponge cake like a pancake, which the sense of eating is like rice cake. (Mochi-Mochi) The name was called after the cradle of Mikawa-cotton. As you can see, on the top there is a burn, which is put for someone who had good things when you or your friends hold parties for the person. For example, it is someone’s marriage, birth, and so on.
And we Japanese eat this sweet with powdered green tea. If you came to Nishio in Japan, you could buy a box by 900 yen, which has 6 Mikawamakis. It is about 225 TWD, and is a little expensive, but it has the value to eat it. If you could not come to Nishio, you could buy it on the internet if you were in Japan.
I do recommend you to eat this one, because I always get the feeling which I want to go my own home when I eat this. It means this sweet makes me homesick. So please try to eat it!

ReplyDeleteTo Sam: If you would buy Mikawamaki in Nishio, maybe you'd better go to the store at early time, because it is really popular, so it would be sold out.
ReplyDeleteTo Seven: I also small sweets, to look at them makes me happy. Do you have any small sweets in Taiwan?
