So many things that I've eaten and haven't posted about!
Kobe's Isuzu Bakery has been in business since 1946, their chocolate france, a tiny french bread filled with milk chocolate and peanuts is great for snack or breakfast.
A rich caramel mousse covered with gooey rich chocolate from Palet d'Or.
Yuzumame, peanuts covered with a light rice cracker, then dusted with yuzu(citron) powder.
Yuzu yokan, a bar of jellied sweet beans and citron. I received this from a fellow blogger, Martin. I answered a quiz that he had on his blog and he sent me this delicious yokan. (Thank you Martin!)
Venchi's Unico, a hazelnut paste and caramel bits covered with a 56% milk chocolate--delicious.
Venchi's Cubigusto, a layer of milk, dark and extra bitter chocolate mixed with almond paste--perfect with coffee in the afternoon.
Shogoin's namayatsuhashi, a thin mochi (rice cake) that is flavored with nikkei (cinnamon).
And lastly, Zorra & Sandra are hosting a huge event.
Send them your favorite recipe of 2007! The whole thing will be round-up here. Check back on December 31st, they should have everything listed. To find out more info about the event, check out Zorra or Sandra's blogs.
Thanks Zorra & Sandra!
Hi, yuzumame sure sounds delicious and hopefully I can find them at one of the Japanese supermarkets when I go back to Singapore in 2 weeks’ time.

Hi there, happy holidays! You have gotten quite a collection of suberb sweets... Happy to hear you liked the yuzu (citron) yokan from Saitama, Japan.
ReplyDeleteI'm just back from a hotspring trip back up there. There were fruit orchards on the way back to the train station, and I had a great treat, enjoying the yuzu picked fresh of a tree...
Nature's blessings..
Sounds like a wonderful trip, Martin! Especially being able to pick fresh yuzu :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays to you too.
Take care.
