Ningyo-yaki : small snack cakes

ningyo-yaki

Ningyo-yaki is a small snack cake and is made by cooking batter of flour, eggs and sugar in an iron mold. They are sold both with and without “anko(sweet bean paste)” . While many ningyo-yaki are in a traditional shape of “shichifukujin “.

I got the ones in a shape of vegetable from Taishido. I can eat them at one bite.

Ice Cream Diary part3 : nana’s green tea

Warabi Mochi frozen Green tea

Green tea Kuromitsu(brown sugar syrup) latte and Warabi Mochi frozen Green tea form the cafe named nana’s green tea. They taste great and rich.

  • Kuromitsu is one of the most fundamental materials used in making Japanese sweet desserts. It serves well with Kuzu Mochi, fruits, ice cream, pan cakes.
  • Warabi Mochi is a Japanese dessert sweet. It is not made with rice, as other mochi is, but rather from Warabi starch. Cheaper ones may have other starch mixed in to make them more affordable. They are soft, and slightly sweet.

    It was a lovely weekend for going for a stroll in Tokyo!
    So there we were, went to Yoyogi Uehara for some freshly fried doughnuts and coffee.

    Making one by one, homemade additive-free doughnuts and originally blended coffee are both so nice.
    We tried “Bitter85” and “raspberry chocolate”.

    haritts_top.jpgIt is said that Haritts’s started from a mobile van, and then it’s become very popular & now having this shop on the street!
    While we were being cozy with coffees, people were constantly coming in.
