Since last night, it has been chilly and we had snow in Tokyo
It snows in many places across Japan yesterday and today.
On such a cold day, we have "ice cream" to have.
Yukimi Daifuku (雪見だいふく)
It is, if I translate into English, "Snow viewing ice cake".
Daifuku (大福) is originally a kind of traditional sweets made from sticky rice cake and sweet beans paste. Vanilla ice creame, instead of sweet beans paste is wrapped by soft thin white rice cake in the case of Yukimi Daifuku.
Both rice cake skin and ice cream filling are pure white color like snow.
I like to enjoy Yukimi Daifuku in warm indoor place
, while snow is falling outside.
Yukimi Daifuku can be found at major convenience stores and supermarkets in Japan during winter season. I miss the sweets sometimes in summer time...
