Hello, everyone!! Today, i wanna show u this thing,,, What do u think this is??? This is Japanese sweets, called SUAMA . According to a dictionary, it is called ‘‘sweet rice cake”in English. But, i wanna call it in English ‘‘ Congratulationsweet ” :P Suama is one of Japanese sweets made by rice cake, and it's popular in east Japan. There are some areas which has a habit to eat Suama when they congratulate someone, or celebrate something :) and we write it in Kanji like this, the first character ‘‘寿”means celebrations, falicitations, best wishes, and long-life, and the second character ‘‘甘”means sweet. so, i think it's not just a sweets made by rice cake.  This is because i called it ‘‘ Conglatulationsweet ”!!! i don't know that how there are some sweets like this all over the world, so it's too difficult to explain its taste. but its mouthfeel is like a dough, sticky, and glutinous, and i like its elegant lightly sweetened taste!! If u visit Japan, plz try SUAMA!!! :) ...
