Japanese snacks are also called: Wagashi

Foreword:

Since the birth of Japan, Japan has been called the "Land of Waka". Until now, the word "和" in the catchphrase is often used to represent Japan. Generally, anything with this word has a certain relationship with Japanese culture. For example, washi (Japanese paper), kimono, and washoku (Japanese food), etc.

Wagashi, also known as Japanese confectionery, has been deeply favored by people in all eras.

What are Japanese snacks? Adzuki beans are a main ingredient in Japanese confectionery. After boiling, it is made into bean paste and mixed with sweet sugar, which gives it an extremely sweet taste.

Bean paste is usually wrapped in rice cakes and made into a variety of exquisite snacks. In addition, there is a representative confectionery in Japan called "ZENZAI", which is made by adding adzuki beans and rice cakes to a thick and sweet soup. Yokan is also a very representative Japanese snack.

"Luoyan" is a sweet dessert made by pressing sugar into a wooden model. There are no adzuki beans in it. So much has been introduced, but in fact these are just a small part. There are snacks with local characteristics all over Japan. What are you waiting for? Start your journey to find snacks now.

History:

Wagashi is a food that was introduced to Japan from China. During the Nara period, it was a donkey covered in flour and fried for sacrifices; Japanese wagashi The chefs all regard a Chinese named Lin Jingyin as their ancestor, and the earliest wagashi shop appeared in Tokyo.

For ancient people, snacks were natural fruits and the fruits of trees could be considered as "fruit children".

After that, "rice cake · dumplings", which produced the grain processing technology, became produced, and spread cooking such as Ganbanjianjian (not made ra) ***This sensitive word has been filtered*** of flax chiya The sweetness is produced (produced) and is made with bean sprouts.

Techniques such as kneading (from the time when the Tang Dynasty brought people across the mainland to cross the continent, making Tang Dynasty confectionery) and rolling powder with oil were conveyed, but many of them seemed to be used as offerings to gods. Use to be honored.

Soon tea spread and the habit of drinking tea developed.

By that time, confectionery will also become concentrated, and confectionery making technology will advance dramatically. At the same time, Nanban confectionery was also imported, and kasuteira, pancakes, bisukauto, kinpei sugar, and arihira sugar were introduced. However, the making of these confectionery greatly contributed to the development of Japanese confectionery.

In the Edo period, there were many competitions between "Kyoto confectionery" with Kyoto as the center and "Kami confectionery" with Edo as the center. Japanese confectionery manufacturing technology developed greatly, and modern Japanese confectionery Pretty much everything straw rubs into something wonderful.

In addition, during the Meiji period, Western confectionery spread, but this also had a big impact on the growth of Japanese confectionery.

It can be said that in addition to the development of ancient grain processing technology, Japanese confectionery technology was influenced by Tang Dynasty confectionery, Nanban confectionery, and Western confectionery. It has been further integrated into Japan's unique culture and tradition. Let’s welcome today with nourishment.

There are also things that show that the Japanese accepted new technology, absorbed it as their own, and created new Japanese confectionery unique to Japan from it.

Haha, now that the introduction is over, let’s enjoy the pictures.

Foods commonly eaten by Japanese people: rice balls, hand rolls (a type of sushi with seaweed wrapped around the outside), tempura, meatloaf, ramen, soba noodles, sushi, and salad. . .

First of all, let me introduce the food that I think is unpalatable in Japan.

5 stars on the unpalatable index - soba noodles

This is the worst I have eaten in so many years. . . Unpalatable noodles. I really can’t believe that noodles with such no taste and taste can be circulated for so long, and that people can write the famous article "A Bowl of Soba Noodles".

The soba noodles I ate were placed on a bamboo partition. There was no soup, no taste, and they were still cold (of course they were cold noodles). The seasoning was a small dish of soy sauce (the kind you eat with dumplings). Small dish), I thought about it when I was eating it - I guess the Japanese eat this as a way to "remember the bitter and miss the sweet", and they are reluctant to even give it salt, and it will be gone after just two dips in soy sauce. . .

When you eat soba noodles, you will find that the cheapest 5-cent pack of instant noodles is delicious.

4 stars on the unpalatable index - Japanese bean-filled bread (あんばん)

Of course this is my own feeling - unpalatable.

I don’t feel anything except sweetness from Japanese bean-filled bread. It's so sweet that you won't want to take another after the first bite. First of all, let me say that I loved eating sweets when I was in China. I ate too much and now my mouth is full of cavities. It was only when I arrived in Japan that I discovered that what I had eaten before was not considered sweets. . . I feel that everything eaten in Japan is sweet, the yakiniku is sweet, the meat patties are sweet, the sizzling beef is sweet, the snacks are all sweet, Japanese soy sauce is sweet, and all Chinese food is sweet. . . I've started to hate sweet things. . .

3 stars on the unpalatable index - Japanese Chinese food

The taste of Japanese Chinese food has changed, it’s just that sugar is added anyway. . .

90% of Yokohama Chinatown is Chinese food. If you don’t have time, don’t go there. Chinese food is relatively expensive in Japan. The most important thing is the taste. I can’t stand it. . .

2 stars on the unpalatable index - Japanese ramen (not too unpalatable, just average)

Of course, this depends on the restaurant where you eat it.

I like to eat noodles with "dashi". Japanese ramen usually has clear soup. According to my original words, "the clear soup is too watery, and I lose my appetite at first glance." However, the clear soup in some stores is also very delicious, but it depends on your luck. There are too many noodle shops in Japan.

I think there are more foods with average taste, but this is related to my personal preference. I like to eat food with strong taste.

The following are some delicious food recommendations.

Although there are many unpalatable things in Japan, there are also many delicious ones.

Even the cheapest ice cream in Japan tastes "on point". I personally prefer "Matcha" and "Vanilla", which are available in general convenience stores and cost less than 150 yen. .

I don’t like eating “Haagen-Dazs” very much. I think the taste is too strong. Although some people say that Haagen’s ice cream has a “texture”, it’s a pity that it’s not to my liking.

There are also some shops that specialize in selling ice cream, which tastes good, but generally costs about 400 yen for a large cup of ice cream.

Japanese takoyaki is also sold in China, but I think because the sauce used is different, it is sweeter here, so the taste is also very different. I think the Japanese one is more delicious.

Japanese tempura, although it is deep-fried, has all the flavor inside, and with the special soy sauce, it is quite delicious.

Japanese chocolate and chocolate-related snacks taste as "authentic" as ice cream.

Japanese juice. Everything in Japan pays attention to the original flavor, so juices generally have no added sugar, and generally taste very sour, sour and bitter, but because they are original, they are very nutritious.

(Let’s talk about other very pure foods here:

Japanese large jars of yogurt have sugar added separately. Although the taste is very pure, it is difficult to eat without sugar! ! !

Japanese rice cakes (similar to Wangwang snow cakes) have no sugar, only a little salt, and have almost no taste.

Japanese sour plums are invincible. Sour! Remember, even if it says that it contains sugar, it can’t be tasted sweet. It can be used to refresh and tease people, haha)

Japanese-style omelette rice tastes pretty good, recommended. .

I like rice balls very much, and the sushi is pretty good too.

Japanese candies are quite delicious because they taste pure, haha. I love marshmallows, recommend them.

Lastly, I recommend the "Eko (shrimp) hamburger" from McDonald's Japan. The shrimp cakes are fried very tender and have a lot of big shrimps inside. Highly recommended. The fries also taste better than what I eat at home, but the rest are no different from those at home. McDonald's is a cheap food in Japan. A regular set meal in Japan is about 500 yen, Japanese bento is generally about 600 yen, ramen is more than 700 yen, and sushi is even more expensive. . .
