About a month ago, Okinawans celebrated a local food staple with their annual sweet potato festival. S thought it was the strangest idea ever, but I get it.
One day this week, I stopped at a nearby bakery called "R Anniversary". I picked up this dessert without having any idea what it was. Turned out to be a sweet potato flavored sponge cake filled with cream and more sweet potato. In case you were wondering why there is spaghetti on top, it's frosting and they love it here.
At the same time, another confection caught my eye. It's called "The scent of the woods" and being intrigued, I had to buy it.
Basically, it's a shortbread cookie with a thick layer of nuts on top. This was really yummy- all kinds of nuts including walnuts, pinenuts, almonds, and sesame seeds. Ofcourse, there's always a surprise inside-- in this case, a layer of raspberry jam.
