Encyclopedia of Japanese Specialty Snacks: Sweets and Desserts

Description
Book Introduction
Taste Japan's best snacks!
Of course, there are famous snacks that everyone has probably tried at least once,
A comprehensive list of 440 famous Japanese snacks, including local favorites.
In Japan, there is a culture of "omiyage" where people purchase local specialties as gifts for family and friends while traveling.
In the past, a significant portion of souvenirs were 'objects' such as lanterns, fans, and chess pieces, but as transportation became more diverse and faster, 'foods' centered around sweets became the main type.
Once, the 'Top 3 Delicious Japanese Souvenirs' became a hot topic on social media.
In terms of taste and recognition, the most popular ones, 'Akafuku (Mie Prefecture)' and 'Hakata Torimon (Fukuoka Prefecture)', were already confirmed, and the post asked for a 'souvenir' to take the remaining spot.
Over 2,000 responses poured in, with a variety of products from all over Japan being nominated.
There were many voices recommending famous sweets that everyone has probably tried at least once, such as 'Haginotsuki (Miyagi Prefecture)', 'Nama Yatsuhashi (Kyoto Prefecture)', 'Shiroi Koibito (Hokkaido)', and 'Mamadoru (Fukushima Prefecture)', as well as 'life sweets' that only locals know about.
Looking at this, it would not be an exaggeration to say that every Japanese person has at least one souvenir that is precious to them.
This book introduces famous snacks that can be purchased at Japanese train stations.
We have carefully selected local specialties sold not only inside the station, but also in commercial facilities connected to the station, stores in front of the station, and airport duty-free shops.
In particular, we actively included sweets modeled after local landmarks and famous sweets that tell hidden anecdotes about the region.
We hope that your trip will be more enjoyable.
