The charm and quality of Japanese sweets

I like sweets very much. I feel happy when I’m eating sweets. Also, even when I am full, I still have room for sweets (a separate stomache). Therefore I can eat a lot. I often eat sweets while walking around. Matcha is especially famous in Kyoto and I can eat matcha sweets. Sweets using matcha include ice cream, Baumkuchen, warabi mochi, parfait, and tiramisu. My favorite is a matcha tiramisu from a shop called Matchakan. Tiramisu is a sweet that originated in Italy. However, the store’s tiramisu is in a wooden bucket, and it’s covered with matcha powder from the top. I can imagine the feeling of Japan without imagining it’s an Italian dessert.

My favorite sweets at the convenience store is the roll cake. I have two recommended points. The first is that there is a lot of cream. The ratio of dough to cream is low, so there is more cream, which remains at the end. It’s very delicious to eat only the remaining cream. The second one is just the right sweetness. It’s not too sweet, so you can eat a lot. It also uses two types of cream and custard cream, so it has a very good sweetness.

Sugar supplementation is very good for your health when you are tired. Therefore, when I take an exam, I often buy sweets at a convenience store during breaks.
