Okinawa Rock Candies (2005-02-01)
If a candy looks like dog poop, will you eat it? That will be a "Yes" to all those Japanese people who like the well-known Okinawa candies. These candies are made from locally-grown sugar and the making process churns out large slabs of hard candies from which smaller bite-sized pieces are hammered out. The end product resembles something that passes from a pooch's butt. Although the appearance of these candies is not too appertizing, their taste is said to be quite good. I find them interesting to look at, but not interesting enough to eat.
On another note, this site is approaching its first
anniversary. I find it hard to believe that I lasted this long
writing a new article everyday. KL has been working on a face
lift of the site lately. You should be able to see a brand new
look of Tabibito on Feb 25 ( fingers crossed). The content will
remain pretty much the same, but the layout will be different. I
am looking forward to seeing it myself.
