Book Treats

One of the great things about doing this book about Japanese treats is getting to sample some of the finer treats Japan has to offer.

Many of the treats are beautiful in appearance, and some taste great as well.

But man, I’ve tried some seriously gross and nasty treats over the last few weeks. I’m willing to except that some treats are cultural treats that maybe my culture isn’t used to. But some I just can’t explain the appeal at all.

You're so lucky and so unlucky all at the same time.

Eating crappy treats is pretty much the life of a Candy Critic. I assure you the good outweigh the bad.

It's called Geppei, I think I go it in Tokyo at the Ground Cherry festival, a few years back.
