Birthday

May 23th was my younger brother's birthday♪

He became 7 years old. (He is in the 1st grade.)

I was sad because I couldn't congratulate his birthday.

I had a part-time job x(

The next day, I ate the birthday cake.

It was a short cake of cozy corner!

I enyoyed it ♪ I love cozy corner's cakes!!

What kind of cakes do you like?

By the way, I introduce the cake history:)

The first cake is just sweet bread in ancient Rome.

Then, Sweet contains much sugar are made in Italy.

That's why the sweet bread change into recent cakes.

Portuguese that came to Tnega-shima introduce "kasutera."

It's first Japanese cake!

Incidentally, We started eating cakes when the birthday is congratulated in 1960's.

I'm surprised!

The history of birthday cake in Japan is short span.

For about 40 years!!

I seldom eat cakes.

So I think the birthday cake is special, after all.

I'll eat special food in the event's day, not other day!

Sweet I ate yesterday

I ate kuzumochi yesterday.

Kuzumochi is said kudzu starch cake in English.

Have you eaten it?

It's white or transparent color, and it's like konnyaku but softer than konnyaku.

We put soybean flour and black sweet sauce(kuromitsu) on the kuzumochi.

I felt sooo delicious because I seldom eat sweet.
I had a happy time:)I want to eat today,too!


By the way, do you know there are 2 kind of kuzumochi??

We can understand the difference obviously:)


First one is transparent color and square .
It's in Kansai.It's made from kudzu starch.

Second one is white and triangle.It's in Kanto.
Flour starch is used.

I think Kansai's kuzumochi is famous for people in Kanto.
I see them at the supermarket in my hometown.

Kuzumochi is low in calories, 180 calorie per person.
I reccomend it for dieting people:)

I know a chance that you can enjoy kuzumochi today.

By the way
Do you know where the first humburger was appeared in Japan?

The answer is...
not shop. Sasebo city in Nagasaki.

You have heard "Sasebo burger" probably.

in 1950, American army that occupied Nagasaki taught how to make humburger.
It's the first.








Recent Sasebo burger is big size, include more vegetables,bacon,cheese and egg.
