A few weeks ago my dad went for a business trip in Egypt and he brought back a whole load of Japanese sweets, a gift from a Japanese guy who was there. My dad gave them to me when he got back and I finally got around to eating them the other day!! The outside is red bean paste and the brown ones had glutinous rice in the middle and the white ones have a yellow paste in the middle. I love red bean paste (especially in mooncakes!) but these ones really weren’t that appealing! Have some photos.
That really kind gesture of your dad’s Japanese friend reminds me of how Japenese present themselves as a courteous group of people ^^ anyway, the sweets look really exotic and tasty, and the red bean paste looks kind of delicious! I wish I could sink my teeth in it :yum: yummy! Not the forget the wonderful packaging… it’s just so appealing and eye-catching :D
I am not sure my neophobia would allow me to eat anything I wasn’t exactly sure of what was – Yet I like exotic stuff – and that candy sure is eye pleasing! I love the focus in the first picture. You have a really nice dad!
They’re packaged so beautifully, I feel like I wouldn’t eat them if I had them!
