Don’t come to Japan if you have a sweet tooth

1. It’s true. The cakes are all the same -bland sponge cake. What I’d give for a proper moist chocolate cake or a brownie or a fruit pie.  Desserts here look pretty but taste meh. 

2. I have a massive sweet tooth, you just gave me another reason to come to Japan 🤪!

   Is it normal for the fluffy pancakes to smell eggy?
   It’s the first thing I smell and it’s kinda off putting 😭.

3. You know, there’s sweet shit in Japan beyond brunch.

4. Try wagashi instead of western-like food!!

   Dango, Daifuku, Yokan, Manju.

   Even the daifuku in conbinis is divine.

   Also, not wagashi but anko or satsumaimo Taiyaki, eat it hot!!

5. Ah, you have reminded me to look at a recipe for those awesome fluffy pancakes. Also always wanted to try that strawberry cake.

6. What’s the 2nd to last image with the egg?

   Is it just a sweet egg, or some dessert with an egg yolk on top, or made to look like an egg?

7. Even the fruit over there is sweeter

8. What is the first picture ? I want to eat it fully

9. Best confections I had were in kyoto

10. No. This is exactly where you want to go because desert are far less sweet than anywhere else. Most countries the deserts are so sweet that it tastes very artificial.
