Guide Book for Tokyo Natural Sweets

What I recommend is the Natural Organic Sweets. This book guides many shops of natural sweets at Tokyo. (It' japanese only)

As you know, sweets have a power to make people happy. But at the same time, sugar can cause problems for our health.

Do you know the differences btween simple sugar and complex sugar? Simple sugar is white sugar, it's refined. This sugar raises the blood sugar level suddenly. This action tasks our body very much.The other hand, complex sugar raises the blood sugar level moderately.

Most of natural organic sweets are using complex sugar or natural sugar, for example AMAZAKE, rice malt sugar and maple sugar and so on. They have a gentle sweetnes and of course they are delicious !!

So I strongly recommend the natural organic sweets. If when you want to eat something sweet, please try these sweets !!

BON@TOKYO for vegetarian

The other day I went to the BON. It's a restaurant of vegetarian cuisine of ZEN buddist. The food was so dericious !! I really recommend this restaurant. Lunch is more reasonable than night.

Not only the food taste but also the looks are so fantastic !!

too hard to eat.....

I made caramels of millet powder, rice syrup and almond.

(add a pinch of salt and cinnamon, too)

It's looks like nice but too hard to eat....

I'll make refinement by adding some maple syrup or sugar next time.
