Tsuruyayoshinobu'Tsubara Tsubara'

"Tsubara Tsubara" is a word of a traditional Japanese poetry which was written by 'Ohtomonotabibito' in 'Manyoushu'. It means "deep feeling" and "your heart's content to the full".
This japanese cake'Tsubara Tsubara' looks like 'Dorayaki' two small pancakes with bean jam in between. But it is more gentle sweet and smaller than Dorayaki. It won 'the small present grand prize' in Japanese magazine 'Brutus', so it is very famous among some fans of Japanese cakes. You can buy it at Tsuruyayoshinobu shops or its website. I bought it on B2F in Sogo Yokohama. Its price is 142yen/one.

「林屋茶園」（Hayashiya cha-en)

One of the Japanese traditional culture is Tea ceremony. There are a lot of long-established Japanese tea store. In recent years, "抹茶スウィーツ(confectionery of powdered green tea)" made by them are very popular in Japan.

I visited "Hayashiya cha-en" in Yokohama Sogo.
This photo is "抹茶カキ氷パフェ(Matcha Kakigori parfait)1,050yen" which is created a recipe of the long established Japanese tea store. Kakigori is shaved ice which is one of the traditinal confectionery in summer in Japan. This made shaved ice with powdered green tea sauce and lightly bean jam, and added some powdered green tea kudzu starch cakes, some rice-flour dumplings, powdered green tea icecream and some agar.
It is so luxury and delicious one.
