Puddin egg

hello!!

this time we will talk about a somewhat curious dessert in Japan, but it is not directly direct of the Japanese culture rather a mixture between the French and Japanese, this shop is in several squares of Japan and is called Patisserie Francais Quatre, the dessert of which we speak also has a French name that is Ouef Pudding.

Ouef Pudding consists of some type of musse or pastry cream inside an authentic egg shell! is something extremely curious and surprising, that ideas do not grow? I really do not fancy though I must admit they look good.

Talking more about the restaurant we can say that it's all about the eggs at Quatre. Owner Kenji Higashi - a veteran of Japan's first French-run patisserie, A.Lecomte - always has around 20 different cakes on display at his Kakinokizaka shop, including a variety of seasonal offerings. But it's the oeuf puddings - pocket-sized confections of custard and caramel sauce, each served in an egg shell (¥ 179 each) - that really made his name. These novel treats are now sold at department stores throughout the city; buy them in bulk and you can get them in an egg carton, making for an unusual (not to mention rather yummy) gift. Quatre also offers a range of cakes, tarts, croissants and breads (including an excellent savory cake sale), as well as a menu of sandwiches and light meals for eat-in customers. And dog owners, take note: your pet pooches are welcome on the outdoor terrace.

it's all for this occasion

see you

Kotatsu

Hello people!!

the question of today is!!

what is a kotatsu??

Firts in Japan there are no such heaters for the house, because according to the Japanese culture it is an unnecessary waste of money and energy so the kotatsu are used more. Kotatsu is one of the most traditional heating methods in Japan. It is a simple table placed on the floor with a heater coupled to it, and covered by a thick quilt or futon to create a comfortable space in which to shelter from the cold of winter. There are three types of kotatsu, one that is placed above a hole in the ground where we introduce the legs, known as horigotatsu; another that is a simple low table on the floor known as okigotatsu; and lately we also find others in the form of dining tables with long legs and chairs. In the past, charcoal and mineral were used as heating fuel in horigotatsu. Today the most common is the use of electric heaters.

There is no such constant heating method, that's why Japanese families love kotatsu. And in fact that's why it becomes the place par excellence to spend time with the family while eating tangerines, preparing the traditional nabe hot pot, or simply watching television.

this is all for today!!

This tradition is called Mame-maki and as they are supposed to mean "throwing grains of soy". It is also said that to attract luck, you have to eat as many grains of soy as the age you have. Tradition also says that if you eat more soy than the years your age you will have a healthy year and will not catch colds, I need that grains ... they say they know peanuts

there is another custom dealing in eating maki-zushi which is a giant sushi roll this to bring luck during that year. This maki-zushi called Ehou-maki is rolled up with nori seaweed and filled with seven main ingredients representing the seven gods of fortune in Japan: carrot, cucumber, eel, Japanese omelette, shiitake mushrooms, squash and tofu.

Catch your dinner!!

Hello little fishes !!

Oh, I'm sorry, are not you a fish? That's good .... Because today we'll talk about sushi...or rather of how to catch your sushi

ok ok...first!!  As an introduction let's talk a bit about a restaurant that is a bit famous in Japan, called ざ う お Zauo where you can fish your own dinner !!! Does not that sound exciting ?!

I will leave a promotional video of the restaurant...  

Well returning to the always chika blogger dear go to this great restaurant, and tells us that it is only 10 minutes walk from the south exit of the JR Shinjuku Station.  woooo, it's only 10 minutes ....

 The anecdote that brings us on this occasion is very funny ... since it was trying to catch something for two hours, of course I only achieved that it was a small shark and the sharks are pets of the restaurant so he could not make his dinner, so the restaurant gave them the price of food as if they had caught a fish .. From what I saw fishing is a job that requires a lot of experience, now imagine doing it with a lot of hunger !! 

Is not it too much to say that the restaurant is shaped like a boat and that around them are the fish ?? it's a little difficult to explain

That's all for today's entry, I leave the video for chika as always and read in the next post !! until next time!

Valentine's Day in Japan

Hello people!!

Remember the post about the different types of chocolates? Hope so!! In that post we talk about chocolates and how the girls give chocolates to the guys they like ... well because in this post we will talk a little more about the day of love and friendship also called valentin day .. All information of this post the video of our blogger Chika that as always will be leaving at the end so they can see.

There are categories of giving chocolate ... if it sounds strange, giri-choko (義理 チ ョ コ), or chocolate by obligation: a fairly frequent gift for co-workers and that has no romantic meaning. The chocolate that is given to the person for whom they have romantic feelings is called honmei-choko (本命 チ ョ コ), or favorite chocolate. Among friends is the tomo-choko (友 チ ョ コ) or friendship chocolate / chocolate among friends.

Chika does not mention it but as I said in an earlier post a month later, White Day takes place, where it is they who have to give the girls presents, to "return the favor". And usually, the gift should be more expensive than the chocolate that was received on Valentine's Day.

No doubt Japan is a country with traditions a little crazy .. do not you think? I would like to be given chocolates lol and more if they have the form of tools or because of cell phones ... well there for all types 

That's it for this post !! See you at the next entry :) BYE

blossoms and flowers

Hello people!! How are you??

In this post, will talk about the Meguro river and sakuramochi!! obviously in japan with our favorite blogger chika!!!

First … what is a mochi? The mochi is a cake of Japanese rice that may be stuffed of different toppings or only rice….  exist different types and presentations but in this occasion, only will talk of 2 styles.

 Chika tells us that sakuramochi is her favorite food and remember They remember that I said 2 styles well, she tells us that the granites of the rice are called Kansai style and that the other one that looks more like a mass is called kanto style, both are wrapped with leaves of Sakura leaf, inside there are red beans…. in this occasion these are pink

 What is the flavor? Mmmm… well chika tells that the red beans are sweet and the sakura leaf is salad, only imagine the flavor… is delicious??

 The meguro river from the end of March to the beginning of April is filled with people!!! Why?? Because the tree of sakura they bloom These trees called sakura or cherry trees, well sakura is cherry tree in Japanese….  Filling of flowers Creating a beautiful setting

The spectacle of these characteristic trees of Japan is something superlative: their flowers look like small snowflakes (something pink) that are suspended in the horizon. The whole view is filled with treetops that look like cotton pompoms. Simply magnificent Or that's what I heard Chika shows us beautiful images of this show at night !! You see that people love to see you. 

I hope someday I can see that show full of beautiful flowers and of course be able to taste the sakura mochis :3
