Japanese Desserts –

Satisfy your sweet tooth with Japanese cakes
made from Green tea products
and red bean paste!

The Japanese people don't like sugary desserts. Their desserts have a very subtle sweet taste.

Generally all local sweets are made from pounded rice – Mochi, sweet red bean paste, sweet white bean paste, mashed sweet potatoes and chestnuts.

The Real Secret To Japanese Cakes

• Mochi is also the name of a Japanese cake - my favorite.
  It's made out of rice flour.

  Japanese Mochi is usually stuffed with sweet fillings,
  like sweetened red bean paste
  or sweet white bean paste.

  Mochi Japanese cake has a sticky texture, but It's really Super!


• Wagashi is also a small Japanese cake, part of Traditional Food in Tokyo.
  Each season the stores change the colors and shapes of Wagashi to reflect the change of season. The Wagashi can be in the colors of Autumn in Japan and in the shape of maple leaves.

• The Food culture in Japan also includes a special cake for Sakura (Cherry Blossom Festival) - A Cherry Blossom Cake. You can see A photo of a Cherry Blossom Cake right below.








• Many Japanese desserts include Green Tea - Matcha.

  There is evidence that Green Tea vitamins are an antioxidant that provides anti-cancer qualities. Green tea has even been found to help weight loss.

  
  The Japanese sweets are a great way to include Green Tea products in everyday food. You can purchase Green tea products of a slightly lower quality for baking purposes.
