A friend of mine recently visited from Tokyo and brought some snacks. There is a huge industry and tradition of omiyage・お土産 which are souvenirs but exclusively food items. If you go anywhere, a different prefecture, city or Disneyland, you bring omiyage for all your friends, family and coworkers. So my friend brought these super delicious omiyage from Tokyo, where he lives.
It’s a little strawberry ‘egg’ with a jammy yolk and light cake-y exterior with a strawberry chocolate shell. It was surprisingly incredible! Chewy, sweet and a mix of lots of textures. Makes me miss living in Tokyo a bit.
