They as well come in varied shapes and colours, making them more appetizing. Due to all these, Japanese desserts have always been a great hit among sweet lovers. These delectable have never failed to delight the taste buds, no matter wherever they went, including Toronto. In recent time, a number of cafés and restaurants specializing in Japanese dessert have mushroomed out in the Canadian urban. And the exciting news is we have voted out the top three mouth watering Japanese desserts in Toronto.
1. Fluffy Japanese Pancake:
Japanese pancake is one such dessert that has won the hearts of all, irrespective of whether you have a sweet tooth or not. Its fluffy texture kicks up a notch as soon as it melts away in the mouth. To maintain the consistency of its texture, each pancake is prepared by whipping the egg white and the yolk separately. Later the whipped portions can be mixed with flour and other desired ingredients to cook variety of flavours. Unlike in the west, it does not require the “breakfast treatment”; instead is relished as a sweet treat.
2. Mochi:
Prepared out of a type of glutinous short-grain rice and stuffed with red bean pulp (Anko), Mochi secures the second spot in our list of ravishingly delicious Japanese desserts. Although, it is traditionally enjoyed during New Year’s Eve, now it has become a millennial dessert that can be relished at any time of a year. Due to its extreme sweetness, it balances quite well with bitter taste of green tea. The little rice dumpling has a number of variety among which the most popular ones are Kinako Mochi, Daifuku Mochi, Dango Mochi, Sakura Mochi and Zenzai Mochi. Since the dessert is made with sticky rice, it is less refined and has a doughier texture. It as well comes with extra toppings or dipped into sauce.
3. Japanese Cheesecake:
Last but not least, the Japanese Cheesecake is yet another light and cotton soft textured dessert that is worth having a bite, if you go gaga over sweets. Due to its spongy nature, it is as well known as Cotton Cheesecake or Light Cheesecake. Unlike the previous ones, this one bears a less sweet flavour. It is made by blending well cream cheese, butter, sugar, whipped creams and eggs. It is much different from any cheesecake available in Toronto and its rich creamy taste makes anyone fall instantly in love with it. The best thing is, it can be eaten as both, cold and hot; all depending on one’s mood.
Food is something that speaks volume about a nation’s culture and tradition. Just by entertaining our taste buds, we can collect so many details. Thus, if you wish to get familiar with Japanese desserts, these three are a must try!
