Tai Parfait

Today, I will introduce a unique food that I'm interested in recently.


Tai Parfait.

Tai means a sea bream.



Tai parfait is a new sweet, which is introduced on TV recently.






These years, new taste is becoming popular.
It is that cool and hot are together on the meal.

For example, Fondant chocolat with ice cream, Hotcake and ice cream, and Fried ice.



Like these, almost the new sweets are with ice cream.



Also, Tai parfait is consisted of Taiyaki and ice cream.


It looks as if Taiyaki is eating ice cream. Very unique!!



By the way, do you know there is a difference for way of bake?

If it is baked in one mold, it is called wild fish,
and if it is baked in plural molds, it is called farmed fish.

I was surprised to hear that those tastes different.


In the end, I ask you very controversial question.

Do you eat from head or tail?


P.S. Tai Parfait is sold at Aune in Kaihin Makuhari. Would you wanna try?

Bento or Sandwich?

Do you prefer Bento rather than Sandwich?

Bento is Japanese culture. It makes us happy.
There are some reasons that Bento is special; the color, tast, location, who we eat with and so on.

Originally, Bento came from China.
The ethymology is convenient(便當) and after introduced in Japan, other Kanji was applied.

Why Bento is so common?
Japanese rice has the characteristic that it's delicious even if it get cold.
Therefore, the Bento culture in Japan was developed, compared with other countries.


In this week, Bento culture was appeared in two dramas which I watched.
One is "Goddess who lost her name".
The main character Yuko go on a excursion of kindergarten with her son Kenta.
They eat lunch with their friend family.

The other is "Good life".
The main character's son Waku is leukemia and has been in the hospital.
His father goes out with him to let Waku forget his troubles.
One of Waku's requests for going out was a delicious Bento.

Bento is our status of picnic and one of the amusement for the picnic.
And it is not only for picnic, but also daily.
In the homemade Bento, a lot of love is contained.

Otherwhile, American lunch style is almost sandwich, apple, yogurt and snacks.
I think it is also good, but Bento is more tasteful.

How do you think?

Chou a la creme (a cream puff)

A cream puff means cabbage filled with cream.


I think it's well-known, isn't it?



It contains flouwer, eggs and butter.






If you see TV drama "Rebound", you will want to eat sweets!



A cream puff is one of the sweets which Taichi Imai (Mokomichi Hayami), confectioner, make for his girlfriend Nobuko (Saki Aibu).

And Chou a la creme connect them.

It is her memorial food. He tries to reproduct the taste.




In this drama, Nobuko repeats rebound and diet, because she gets fat by having a taste of his new cakes.

She relies on medicine.

It will cause something bad next week.



The drama is interesting from the point of fiction, but if it's real, it is not good for the body.









To tell the truth, I was little disappointed at Saki Aibu's fat face.

Sure enough, person is face?

Not all, but also...
