SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan#Andrew 6 Posted December 1, 2006 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 1, 2006 I've been lucky enough to try soubriquettes Awayuki, in fact I'm eating one right now. I'm not an expert on these things (and wouldn't be good on one of the oishii programmes due to lack of suitable food words) but I do know that it is superb. The best of it's kind I have had (and that's not just because it's soubriquet!) My wife is very impressed too and already wants more. Thanks soubriquet and soubriquette.

rach 1 Posted December 1, 2006 Author Share Posted December 1, 2006 Yum. Sound better than my breakfast, which was a piece of toast and coffee. Link to post Share on other sites
viv&kev 0 Posted December 4, 2006 Share Posted December 4, 2006 I can't remember having a poor namachocolate cake. Love the cake shops around where we live, and the bread shops too. They are just so tempting. Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted December 5, 2006 Author Share Posted December 5, 2006 They sure are. There's a bread shop just up the road from where I live and they make some super breads. They latest new one is a fairy hard dryish bread they are calling "German style". Don't know whether it really is German style or not but it makes a really good sandwich roll. Then a cake for dessert. Link to post Share on other sites

Apologies - I didn't realise it was Soub'ettes shop. Considering the background you've provided on her in other posts (travel, OS working, etc), the cakes should taste as good as they look. So I suppose you're her offically unofficial taste-tester, then? (Do you need an apprentice?) Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted December 5, 2006 Share Posted December 5, 2006 Thanks for the nice words, SJ1 That's OK SubZero. I know that the supermarket/train station stuff can be all style and no substance. The awayuki, btw, is her speciality cake. She has it, and the production process patented. I don't have a sweet tooth, so I eat about 3 pieces of cake per year. That's only when she brings me something to try. OTOH, if she made pies, I'd be in the shop several times per week. Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted December 6, 2006 Share Posted December 6, 2006 If my wife made good pies I'd be in there several times a day! Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted December 18, 2006 Share Posted December 18, 2006 I'm on an ice cream boom at the moment. I like trying new flavors that they bring out. Had a nice one yesterday at Baskin Robbins or whatever its called, it was like an anko with caramel type flavor. Very nice. Link to post Share on other sites
Eliza 0 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Those cakes look scrummy. I eat far too many cakes and sweet foods, but happily my waistline doesn't expand with it. Link to post Share on other sites

cal 6 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 That looks good, is it chocolate? Recently I have also been making some good curries. Got a good book (Indian Restaurant Cookbook) that I'm using as a base and then going from there. I can make a mean Korma these days. Link to post Share on other sites
indosnm 0 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Dump the cookbook, find an Indian lady to teach you her secrets, and then you will find out what it's all about! Link to post Share on other sites
charlotte 0 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 I like that too slow. Anything sweet and it will be at least a minor hit with me I really like the heavy type of cakes at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites

Oyuki kigan 0 Posted December 22, 2006 Share Posted December 22, 2006 my students made me takoyaki with okara konnyaku instead of octopus. i was very happy with the results. and i have a new favorite on-hill snack, instant miso. i get some good Shinshu miso, grill it in a pan for a bit to get rid of the extra water, amd mix it with some minced green onion. Then i roll it into tablespoon-sized balls, cover it with konbu dashi powder, and wrap it up with a little dry wakame-rolled fu mix. Add hot water up at the hill, and you have the best instant soup ever. Link to post Share on other sites

sanjo 2 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 I really like the ichigo daifuku (I think that is what it is called) I can get at a cake shop up the road from where I live. It's a strawberry covered in cream, with some sponge and then covered in pink mochi. Nice Link to post Share on other sites
SirJibAlot 0 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 ichigo daifuku ROCKS. I eat those all day long when I'm in Osaka.... Link to post Share on other sites
