can i see your favorite japanese pastry
 

pastry or desserts? haha to me they're both the same. i just like seeing how in anime/manga the characters go to these bakeshops and then they order these really delicious looking pastry or dessert lol. so if you could, can i see whats your favorite "thing"

My favorite is the Taiyaki. It's a red snapper-shaped crisp pancake with sweet bean paste inside.

I'd have to say Taiyaki is my favorite too. Anything with red bean paste has the potential to be awesome for me, but taiyaki wins.

Oh my gosh that just made me so hungry right now! I haven't had that in so long since I moved.

that does look reallly good and i agree anything with rea bean paste is good. is this the thing in zach bell by the way?

i think its called Mochi Ice Cream, one of my good friends own a Sushi resturant so for his birthday he brought them it was really super good :mtongue:

mochi ice cream?! wow haha i never heard of that but im willing to try haha

Oooh. It's really good. I love the green tea one. ^_^

Freshly made melon pan (maple flavored) always hits the spot for me.

green tea ice cream and melon pan :eek: i saw these in yakitake japan but i never tried it yet. i want to so bad. you know they have these in hawaii?

How about just regular mochi? I love that too.

Yeah, that's good too. But I prefer the ice cream ones. Green tea and strawberry are the bomb. Usually, I don't like strawberry but I love how it feels with mochi.

there's strawberry mochi too. i dont know what to say ahaha

Yakimochi
 

my fave is Yakimochi :)

I don't know if this counts as a "pastry" but I loooooove pocky! i could seriously live off that stuff.

oh yes that totally counts! I love, love, LOVE pocky :D

I've a particular weakness for kare pan, especially in the morning when it's freshly-baked. It's essentially a semi-sweet doughnut filled with chicken or vegetable curry (sometimes others, depending on your bakery), covered in panko, and deep-fried.



Om nom nom! :rheart:

I second this... *drools*

haha i would love to live next to a bakery that makes this. probably smells good

oh my gosh I've never seen that - it looks sooooooooo goood :)

I like to eat pastry.

I L.O.V.E daifuku (i think thats what its called>.<)
And Mochi icecream
Daifuku

I like melon bread:p
and Green Tea Mochie icecream.

I also want to try Chocolate Cornets (but I can't find them any where><)

Umm...any sweet bread would be my favorite pastry :D

"Om nom nom" <-- perfect words to describe my quench for this delicious treat ~.~

Melonpan, anpan, mochi, dango, dorayaki. They all go well with green tea. De-fricking-licious:D

Why do I torture myself so by looking at this food that I could never find here. I CAN get Mochi ice cream (Green tea at that) but it's so very expensive here that I can only treat myself every once in a while. But man is it worth it. Besides pocky and other candies, I've never had such treats before..

ive never had any japanese sweets
im actually interested in how this tastes tho
what can it be compared to? if anything

Same here! I want to try all of those delicious looking things!

Oh man kare pan anytime. Also, green tea ice-cream.
:D
