Foreign Food Friday
These were bought at Takashimaya, Shinjuku, I should've asked what they're called. They were quite heavy, but distort ever so easily, I messed up the pretty flower shape just picking one up... guess that's why the assistant warned me to carry them carefully, not bump them around.
They were sweet, not sickly sweet, but getting there... certainly not good on an empty stomach. Kinda slightly grainy, I don't mean that in a bad way, but otherwise I can't really describe the taste - just sweet, no real other flavour. There was, what I assume to be red bean paste inside, but it didn't taste any different to the outside really, and it all got smooshed together as soon as I put it in my mouth.
I guess the main thing about them is they look so pretty.
Oh, and the colours didn't have different tastes, either. Anyone else living where they go past interesting food but never try them? Want to join in?
