It seems like the world is being dominated by sushi, baos and ramen, and we are not complaining. The global recognition was long due. While the savoury delights of Japan are all the rage, it is time to shift our gaze towards Japan’s equally vibrant and versatile desserts. Japanese desserts make ample use of fresh, local produce. The ‘Matcha’ craze that has gripped the internet, has its roots in Japan. The fine green powder has been making Japanese cuisine super unique and refreshing, but there is so much to Japanese desserts that you may be missing out on.
