"Snow Strawberry Girl" Sweets (2005-04-28)
A Japanese sweet snack commonly found in food stalls in busy train stations or even convenience stores has a very poetic name--Yukiichigomusume (
), which literally means Snow Strawberry
Girl. Although many people just call it Yukiichigo--Snow
Strawberry--, it still has a lovely ring to the name.Snow Strawberry Girl is round and has a chewy shell made of
sticky rice that enwraps a layer of whipped cream, sponge cake and a
strawberry inside. The shell of this snack is white, and together
with
the white cream and light-colored cake inside, it conjures up the image
of snow, hence the name.
KL just loves this sweet treat, whether it has a poetic name or
not. But having a beautiful romantic name never goes wrong.
