Nerikiri, another one of my favorite Japanese sweets. Typically made with shiro an (sweetened white bean paste) as the primary ingredient and seasonal designs are often used. Most shops have many different shapes to choose from and it’s always hard to pick just a few! – Japan

My nukadoko has been doing really well and I’ve been eating a lot of nukazuke (nuka fermented vegetables). I also experimented with non-traditional vegetables like zucchini (shown) and avocado. It’s been fun and healthy! – Japan
