Japanese Noted Foods   Onigawara Bean-jam-filled Wafers  
 Report

It is said that Dazaifu noted product Onigawara bean-jam-filled wafers is Bean-jam-filled wafers which imitated and made Onigawara which came out from the old remains of the Dazaifu government office. Well, probably, they are a good-luck article and a category of charm against misfortunes.

Since Onigawara points out the tile decorated with the angle of a tiled roof, it does not necessarily have a form of ogre. When such a thing was got to know and it goes to a shrine, a Buddhist temple, or the palatial residence of some tiled roof, I want to have taken care and come to see.

The Bean-jam-filled wafers is Japanese sweets. The skin kneaded the powder of glutinous rice, extended it thinly, and was baked from both sides. Seemingly, it will swell, if it bakes from both sides.




A bean-jam-filled wafers is a size somewhat smaller than soap. To be sure, it has a form of Onigawara. However, unevenness of the field of ogre is liable to a dent a little with a shock on passage to a regrettable thing. It is the form which did not wrap bean-jam in wafers entirely, but has been inserted by wafers. It is nice when it eats. The exquisite balance of this wafers and inner red bean paste is good. sweetness -- it is moderate. Especially this Bean-jam-filled wafers can be considered for wafers to be delicious.

Now, it is the completion of charm against misfortunes this year.
