After our usual eye shopping deal at Southcoast, headed over to Mitsuwa for some white bread, where we were unexpectedly greeted with some amazing goodies:
Ijinkan Maki: “a delicate dessert of soft mochi and red bean paste wrapped with thin Japanese pancake”
Ahhh so good!! Only if it was a bit less pricey- paid $7 for 4 pieces (!!!)
Okonomiyaki: a Japanese version of pancake; made with flour, eggs, cabbage, and various toppings (my fav is octopus!) $5 a piece- it’s actually very easy to make, so decided to skip.
Desserts- no idea how they taste- has anyone tried them?
More goodies… Not sure what’s in them; Korean versions usually come with chestnut or red bean fillings.
Japanese sweets- If I had stayed in the aisle for another minute, I would have grabbed something… glad we were able to escape in a timely manner.
Love the way Japanese chocolate tastes… It has its own unique taste… not too rich, not too sweet… and better yet, they have a special talent of turning everything good with chocolate! Above is a good example… usual corn snack covered in Japanese chocolate- completely melts in mouth… mmmmm~~
If you are in town this weekend, be sure to stop by Mitsuwa for an introduction to Japanese snacks.
