Japanese food ~25~ Yakimanjyu

This is called Yakimanjyu.
Yaki means "bake"
Manjyu is a kind of Japanese sweet.
This Yakimanjyu is one of the local specialty in my hometown.
So, I guess all Japanese people don't know this sweet.
The taste is sweet and salty.
I really don't like Yakimanjyu.
By the way, there is a stick like above.
Do you eat any foods that use a stick in your culture?
I guess you use a stick when you cook barbecue.

Yes, I only know it from barbeque :D
And Yakitori in restaurants (^_^)
Otherwise I can't think of food with such sticks...

Ah I want to try this haha..
It's like a baked manju bread on a stick :D
Where is your hometown? I haven't seen any yakimanjyu when I came to Japan..
In Indonesia, there's also a food that use stick, it's called "sate", or "satay" in English. Usually we eat it with rice or some kind of baked rice called "lontong".
"Sate" is made of chicken or lamb meat, and we use a stick and then grill it with special sauce, sweet soy sauce and spicy condiments. It's delicious.

My hometown is Gunma. It is
local area. So, you didn't see
yakimanjyul.
I want to try lontong and Sate if
I have a chance.
I don't have a chance to eat
the food of Indonesia.
