We picked up these tiny baum kuchen at Benny called kyusuke baum.
I looked online to see how to read the kanji and learned that in the factories, namely senbei/arare (rice cracker) factories, they called the broken pieces or imperfect items “kyusuke”.
They usually sell kyusuke for a reduced price because of the imperfections.
I'm glad we tried this and learned something new in the process.
I thought it was called something else like kasu-something. Learned the proper word!
ReplyDeleteI used to buy the giant arare like that because would be all broken by the time I got home anyway plus they had assorted types in the bag
