The secret of Japanese cuisine lies in its four beauties: delicious taste, beautiful appearance, beautiful tableware and exquisite materials. Therefore, in the minds of young people, eating in Japanese restaurants is not only to fill their stomachs, but also to enjoy and taste the beauty of Japanese food to a greater extent.
In fact, you don't have to be in a fancy restaurant to enjoy Japanese food.
There are many simple snacks on the streets of Japan. Simple ingredients, in the hands of Japanese chefs, can become amazing and amazing food.
Octopus burning is becoming more and more popular.
The most common "octopus baked" noodle pill in Japan is very simple in material, but it can form a unique popular food and become more and more popular.
Octopus tangyuan was originally a popular fast food on the street. The method is to add flour to the soup and seasoning, then mix small pieces of octopus with ingredients such as Jiang Mo and chopped green onion, and finally fry them into balls.
This is a simple food, which can be bought in every vendor, so the chef must make great efforts in the taste to form his own unique taste and attract customers.
It is said that the octopus baked noodle ball has a long history and first appeared in the hands of Ai Jinya, the founder of Osaka octopus baked noodle ball franchise store.
At first, meat and taro were added to the batter, then fried and sold at the booth. Later, it was improved, with octopus as the main taste and richer seasonings, which made octopus fried noodles popular in Japan and all over the world.
In Osaka, some people may not have a TV, but every family must have an octopus fried noodle pot, because that is the pride of Osaka people and their best interpretation of food.
Coke cakes come from the west.
In addition to maintaining tradition, Japanese cuisine has another outstanding feature, that is, introduction and improvement.
The delicious "coke cake" that everyone likes in Japan is as popular as octopus noodles, but it is very different from octopus noodles. Coke cake is not a traditional Japanese food, but is imported from the west.
Its name comes from croquette in French, which was gradually accepted by the Japanese people when western food was introduced to Japan in the16th century, and then it was loved by the Japanese people.
The song "Eat Coke Cake Today, Eat Coke Cake Tomorrow" was once popular in Japan.
The original intention of this song is that a newlywed husband praises his wife's coke cake for its delicious taste, but later his wife lets her husband eat coke cake every day, which makes him very disappointed.
No matter how disappointed my husband is, this song is still popular, and coke cakes are also popular today.
The original method of cola cake is to add chopped vegetables and meat to the sauce made of cream and flour, cool it, knead it into a cylinder, then coat it with wheat flour, egg juice and bread flour, and fry it.
However, Japanese families have improved this exotic product to their own taste, using mashed potatoes, adding fried onions and minced meat, and then rolling it into a cylindrical shape and frying it.
Nowadays in Japan, although there are also delicious foods from all over the world, Japanese still regard octopus balls, cola cakes and other snacks as essential foods in life.
Second, local snacks
1. Don't be fooled. This is not an egg tart, but it really looks like a ghost. After eating, the skin is loose, it smells like butter, and it looks like radish cake inside, but the radishes are still all water, loose outside and soft inside, dry outside and wet inside, which is so enjoyable to eat!
2. Four fresh days to sell the imperial city, is it sold? Yes, but it's Japanese. The four steamed buns are caviar, octopus, seaweed and scallop skirt, which are the four favorite snacks of Japanese people. Sure, I like them very much. After careful tasting, it is found that there are dried Kun and crab in the spoon, which is different from our general spoon and tastes fresher and cooler.
3. Japanese jade coffin, the name is very special, because you have no idea what it is. The appearance is also very special. The square crystal cube looks tender and charming, a bit like this MM, hehe. In fact, Japanese Sakura is a Japanese snack, but what we are eating now should be improved, adding China elements, because there are mushrooms and shrimps in it. The stuffing tastes crunchy, and you eat it before you know what it is. Let's leave this mystery to everyone.
4. Muyu Dolphin Meat Bag, just seeing this name has already been ordered. How attractive the combination of wooden fish and dolphin meat is! The steamed stuffed bun is fried, so I left gravy in it. I don't need to introduce the delicious dolphin meat. It's delicious with the Muyu flowers outside. Sure enough, I have a good eye.
5. Japanese matcha cheesecake, dessert to pull! Frozen cheesecake is wrapped in ice skin and cut gracefully with a knife and fork. Everything is soft and beautiful. The crust is slightly tough, and the cake melts at the entrance. I don't know why it feels so romantic

When the surface turns brown, you can eat it. It is also interesting to see the roasted octopus balls in the street roasted octopus ball shop. A Shuang Mu chopstick or an iron tag can be skillfully fiddled with, and in a short time, it can become an octopus ball with soft outside and hard inside, which is mouth-watering.
