As if gyoza shaped dessert wasn't enough, my husband decided we also needed to try the meat from Sweets Paradise. They make some very authentic looking food-inspired desserts and the tray of meat (traditionally wrapped in a thin sheet of bamboo) fit right into the theme.
My husband teased our son telling him we were eating raw meat for dessert. He fell for it for a short while asking if he could eat ice cream if he ate three bites of the raw meat. But as soon as we cut into the meat and he realized it was actually crepes, he excitedly dug in with vigor.
Each crepe had a different flavor - plain, berry, and chocolate. There was a little white marshmallow representing the little hunk of fat that comes on a tray of meat in Japan.
The crepes were super tasty, much better than the gyoza. We decided it would make a good hostess gift if we were ever invited to a sukiyaki (meat and vegetables simmered in a sweet and savory broth) dinner party.
In 2017 my family headed to Tokyo. My husband had a new job and my son and I came along for the ride. This move was my second move to Japan - the first was for a year in 2002. At that time I was a single, recent college graduate. Moving abroad as a family was a whole different ball of wax. As I live this crazy life in Japan, I track our adventures and my observations, creating an unofficial guidebook to the city.
