Earlier, we took you to understand the history of the fruit.

at present

We continue to pursue a variety of rich expressions.

Heguozi world

First of all, let's see what types of fruits are!

And the types of fruits are very fine, and there are probably hundreds of the most typical ones.

For example, steamed bread (filled with wheat flour bags and fruits) can be divided into baked steamed bread and steamed steamed steamed bread, and there are many kinds of materials for skin and stuffing.

Different from western desserts, Japanese desserts use all kinds of rice flour (white jade powder, cake powder, fresh flour, fresh flour, Doumyouji Tsukasa powder, Ben Ge Fen, etc.), bean paste (red bean paste, kidney bean paste, red bean paste, purple taro paste, chestnut paste, etc.) and flowers and leaves of plants (for example, flowers and leaves of cherry blossoms are very common fruit materials).

There are many types of fruits, such as dumplings, masha, Dafu, mutton soup, steamed bread, Tongluo Shao, snapper Shao, Japanese pancake, Zhongzhong and so on.

Generally speaking, fruits can be divided into three categories, which are classified by the moisture contained in the finished product.

1) When the finished product contains about 30%-40% water, it is called "raw fruit". Including hemp cake, red bean rice, steamed bread, water sheep soup, sheep soup, Tongluo Shao, Taoshan, etc.

2) The water content of finished fruit is 10%-30%, which is called "half-baked fruit". Shi Yi, Zuizhong, Taoshan, Jinyu, etc. Among them, the "best" and the "stone coat" formed by grinding adzuki beans with honey are the representatives.

3) Fruits whose water content is below 10% are called "dried fruits". Wheat Xianbei, rice fruit, flat sugar, salt kettle, egg pine leaves, etc. "You Ping Tang" is the first one used in tea seats, and "Wild Goose", "Pancake", "Muffin" and "Rice Candy" are the representatives.

In addition, harmony with fruit is seasonal, such as:

In spring, fruits with the fragrance of grass or leaves like "grass cake" and "cherry cake" begin to be lively. "Young fruit", "cypress cake", "Zongzi" and other fruits closely related to the ceremony are mostly.

In summer, fruits with cool and refreshing taste materials, such as Ge Fen, are popular. Needless to say, Ge Fen-wrapped steamed buns are also very popular.

Autumn is a harvest season, so the use of chestnut, persimmon, taro and other fruits and more debut.

In winter, steamed bread and Dafu wrapped in thin bags are very weighty, which makes people feel warm and warm. It is also a good season to taste baked fruits such as "snapper burn" and "Imagawa burn".

The five senses of human beings include sight, taste, touch, smell and hearing, not only in food, but also in human life.

That and fruit also have five senses.

"vision"

Appreciate the beauty and delicacy of the fruit with your eyes.

"Taste"

Taste the delicious fruit.

"sense of touch"

The touch of the tongue, the feeling of holding and cutting the fruit.

These are common when you taste all foods, and the most special thing about fruits is the sense of smell and hearing …

"sense of smell"

And the fragrance of fruits is the subtle fragrance of rice, red beans, taro, cinnamon, ginger and mint.

When it comes to sense of smell, the Japanese are the first nation in the world. From heian period, it is said that in the dark, even though you are wearing clothes, you can tell who you are by smell, or you can play incense and guess the taste, which can show the unique sensitivity of the Japanese to smell.

At the same time, this subtle fragrance has also developed a Japanese tea ceremony with harmony fruit, which transcends the fragrance of tea, but can make people feel it? To the idea of silence.

"hearing"

It is the sound made when tasting food, for example, the sound of Kari Kari when tasting Xianbei can enhance the sense of taste, so harmony with fruit is also a snack to pursue auditory interest!

Generally speaking, all harmony fruits have "names", which are named according to flowers, birds, romantic seasons, harmony songs, haiku, historical countryside and so on.

Therefore, we are "Ming Guo" with fruit.

For example, in a house with fruit, the fruit with red leaves is named "Longtian", "Litian" or "Litianji". This is because of the chorus.

Feeling the sense of season and its origin from the name of Kazuo has an incredible echo in the bottom of my heart, which is also the place where Kazuo makes the Japanese proud.

The following is a dialogue with Japan's time-honored and fruit shop-Tiger House.
