We booked flight tickets to Japan! In just a few months we are going to finally make a far-dream come true and travel to the most unique place on earth. I have a feeling that I will fall in love with Japan and have a hard time getting back from it. I\u2019m kinda already deeply in love with this country, even before my feet set foot on its soil. Japan is exciting to me, I feel a great connection to Japanese culture, aesthetics, and of course Japanese food.<\/p>\n

When I’m asked what my favorite food is, my immediate answer is Japanese food. Not just sushi, but more complex dishes; rich in special flavors that I are new to me, with aromas that take me to distant places that I will soon, finally, reach them in reality.<\/p>\n

I admit that Matcha was not love at first sight for me, and even now it is still sometimes a bit complex in my taste. However, in the right doses it does wonders in desserts. I have been able to combine it into quite a few desserts I have prepared recently. Such as in these next cream puffs. These tiny puffs are filled with matcha pastry cream with a crunchy black sesame seeds crumble topping.<\/p>\n

This is the kind of desserts that are not essentially Japanese, but their tastes are a kind of greeting from the land of the rising sun. The puffs are golden and stuffed with tons of cream and topped with a crackling black sesame crumble that adds crunch and flavor. If you like Japanese desserts; you really should try this one too.<\/p>\n
