See the cherry blossoms at night in spring, the blue sea in summer, the red leaves in autumn, and the snow in winter. Underneath her trendy exterior, Japan remains traditional and ready to be friendly to every visitor to the island nation. Like the tourists, he got off the plane at a civilian Wakkanai Airport in Wakkanai City, Hokkaido, Japan, which is located in a temperate and subtropical monsoon climate, with mild climates and four distinct seasons, and typical characteristics of the ocean.

The skin of the Japanese is fairer, and the facial features, especially the nose, are mostly more straight and the bridge of the nose is more slender, which is essentially in line with the appearance characteristics of Asians, and it is Japan with a tourist airliner, so when Sikong Yao first got off the plane, he would not feel much discomfort.

She has seen a certain scene, and she will not be excited by the magnificence of the airport, but the problem that gives her a headache is indeed the barrier of language communication.

According to Helai, the owner of the restaurant can speak Chinese, but there is no one to show her the way from Wakkanai Airport to the house, Chinese no one can show her the way.

Sikong Yao pinched the only map with Chinese handwriting that he could rely on, and his head was bigger than two.

"This ......" Sikong Yao didn't know how to say it even if he wanted to ask someone for directions, and there was no word Ren Qian Weiya on this map, and the only thing he could know was that it was located in Dotonbori Food Street.

This food court offers delicacies from all over Japan. No matter what you want to eat, it gives you the most delicious meal. Next to the Dotonbori Food Street is the Sensenri Shopping Street. There are many shops. A little further to Nihonbashi is the famous Osaka Electric Town, full of electronics. If you walk off the subway station, there is an underground shopping street that runs through the center of Osaka. All in all, the Dotonbori Food Street is one of the busiest business districts in Osaka, and there is hardly an inch of land that is not occupied by shops. When you come to Osaka, which is known as a Japanese kitchen, Dotonbori Food Court is a must-see.

This is a brief introduction that Sikong Yao found on the Internet with his mobile phone during his visit to Japan, and with this understanding, at least Sikong Yao can understand that Dotonbori Food Street should be a place that is widely known to the locals. Therefore, Sikong Yao quickly found the three words Dotonbori on the map. Then smile at a passer-by who looks quite kind.

Sikong Yao pointed to the three characters of Dotonbori on the map, Japan had no writing before the introduction of Chinese characters, it was a country with language but no body, and the current writing is composed of two sets of symbols: kanji and kana. Mix and use. Dotonbori three words. It continues the way Chinese characters are written. Therefore, whether it is Sikong Yao or the passer-by who was asked for directions, they can reach a consensus.

Although they are all Asian, their faces are still slightly different. And in terms of height, it is rare to see a girl like Sikong Yao who is nearly 1.65 meters tall in Japan, so the passer-by quickly classified Sikong Yao as a foreign tourist guest, and immediately realized that she wanted to come to ask for directions.

The good passer-by pointed out the mode of transportation to Sikong Yao in a concise and clear way, and most directly pointed out which subway Sikong Yao should take to Dotonbori Food Street.

While Sikong Yao was grateful to this kind passer-by, he couldn't help but sigh that smile is the common language of the world.

Shrugged his shoulders helplessly, Sikong Yao smiled bitterly: "It seems that I want to go all the way to the house with a smile, as long as I get to Dotonbori, it should be much easier to find, and the one-star Michelin restaurant should be very well-known." ”

Sikong Yao sighed, and immediately embarked on the journey to Dotonbori Food Street.

Located near Shinsaibashi in Osaka, Japan, Dotonbori Food Street is a representative location of Osaka cuisine. The food signs here attract a steady stream of people every day, and the most famous is the big crab sign, which is the symbol of the Dotonbori Food Street, especially when the night comes, and the flashing neon lights are even more tempting. Many famous snacks such as Kinryu ramen, takoyaki, conveyor sushi, fugu meat, etc. can be eaten here.

After exiting the Shinkansen Osaka, walking through the streets of Osaka, the interesting Dotonbori Food Street immediately stands out in front of you. The sky seemed to be a little overcast, with occasional drizzles. However, the Shinsaibashi Bridge is becoming more and more charming in the drizzle, and it can be described as bustling and lively with people coming and going.

The shopping streets, Shinsaibashi Shopping Street and Dotonbori Food Street, are two streets comparable to "Nanjing Road" arranged in a T-shape, with Shinsaibashi Shopping Street being horizontal and Dotonbori Food Street vertical, and there is an endless stream of customers who come to taste food and shop.

However, Sikong Yao was not interested in shopping at this time, and walked casually for a while, but was fascinated by the dazzling array of delicacies on Dotonbori Street, and the map in her hand had already been put away by her, anyway, it was still early, and it was not too late to go shopping twice.

Sikong Yao wandered around aimlessly, walking, and unconsciously, bursts of fragrance came to her nose, looking for the taste, and suddenly, a big king crab appeared in front of her.

This is a Japanese restaurant called Honbawei, which serves Japan's famous ramen and sushi dishes, but at this time, Sikong Yao does not want to eat lunch too quickly, and she is more willing to spend the whole noon eating a variety of snacks than a full meal in one sitting.

Then as time goes by, when the food is almost finished, it should be in the afternoon, when the customer flow gradually declines, and the restaurants will be relatively relaxed.

Thinking like this, Sikong Yao took her eyes off the king crab and turned to the colorful streets, red octopus, brown giant pandas, mighty Chinese dragons, and those puppets with different expressions made her want to laugh, even ordinary dumpling shops, they made dumplings so cartoonish. Walking in this fragrant street, full of cartoon images can be seen everywhere, the black old cow hangs in the air, a big hand holds sushi, snow-white flying fish jumps out of the building, etc., wandering in the meantime, the surrounding air is trance-filled with childlike fun, so that she can't help but stop and linger, and can't make a choice for a long time.

After thinking about it, Sikong Yao closed his hands alternately with his palms, and made up his mind: "Sure enough, you should still eat that, the legendary golden cake!" ”

Sikong Yao lowered her hands, and then strode towards a snack bar that she was targeting, even if Sikong Yao didn't know Japanese, but only by the only word "burning" that could be understood on the signboard, plus the dim sum in the hand of the person who came out of the stall door, she could also tell that this shop was a store with experience in dorayaki snacks.

Dorayaki, also known as the golden cake, is named after the combination of two pieces of bread that resemble a gong. Wrapping the bean paste filling in two disc-shaped, honey-like crusts is actually a more familiar bean paste cake for Chinese, but there are still some differences in the cooking process.

Dorayaki, a sweet dish with grilled dough and a sandwich with red bean paste and other fillings, is also a traditional Japanese confectionery, and the reason why Sikong Yao handed over the first stop of his Japanese food tour to Dorayaki, like tourists who need to visit Japan, is mostly because of the relationship between a certain cartoon character in his childhood memories.

The recipe for the dorayaki dish is not complicated, and just at a glance, Sikong Yao, who aims for a pastry chef, immediately distinguishes flour, eggs, sugar, and baking powder.

Skilled stall cooks add the right amount of milk to the batter and stir it into a thicker paste and fry it in a custom-made frying pan. A batter without oil is more capable of burning, but it is a beautiful color that is slightly charred but not meaningful.

Due to the booming business, the frying pan has never been turned off, and Sikong Yao, who has been queuing for a long time, at least does not need to wait too long for the cooking.

Scoop a spoonful into the soup spoon, burn until there are many bubbles, turn it over and continue to cook until the coffee is brown, but the freshly burned crust cannot be used immediately, so the store skillfully puts it aside, and evenly spreads the red bean paste that has been burned and cooled before handing it to Sikong Yao.

The dorayaki at this shop is handmade, and the recipe comes from a Japanese chef, but it seems to be to suit the taste of more tourists, in addition to the traditional original red beans, it has also developed flavors such as meat floss, mung bean, blueberry, mango, cream, etc., and whether it is the original red bean flavor, or the rich cream flavor, natural strawberry fruit flavor, it is very good to enjoy with bubble tea or coffee. Of course, it is just as good when eaten as is, with the same fresh, pure and rich taste. However, for Sikong Yao, he still wants to taste the authentic red bean paste dorayaki.

The dorayaki crust exudes a rich honey aroma and a fluffy taste, and the delicate crust blends with the delicate, pure, sweet, and delicious red bean filling.

"Haha, if you don't eat this, you'll come to Japan for nothing, so if you go back, I'll bring some to everyone by the way."

Although it is simple, it is not a classic dorayaki, which makes Sikong Yao's good impression of this Dotonbori food street suddenly rise badly, and after tasting the delicious dorayaki, Sikong Yao has targeted another famous snack, which is definitely not unfamiliar even in China.

"But if you want to eat authentic takoyaki, you can't let go of this good opportunity."

Looking at the semi-circular concave special kitchenware in the distance, constantly emitting an attractive aroma, Sikong Yao couldn't wait. (To be continued......)
