What He Got at Haneda Airport, Tokyo International Airport - Japan Haul

     My husband purchased these delicious souvenirs at Haneda Airport, Tokyo International Airport, in Japan when he was on his business trip there. Today, I'm going to share what he purchased there with you.

Haneda Airport Haul

 1. Ningyo Yaki (人形焼)
10 Pieces
500 yen at Tokusenwagashikan at Haneda Airport

Ningyo Yaki 人形焼

      Ningyo yaki is a traditional small molded Japanese cake originated from Tokyo and is one of the most popular Tokyo's souvenirs. It has sweetened red bean pastes in it. Because I love ningyo yaki, he purchased it for me. (He also purchase ningyo yaki last time he visited Tokyo.) This box contained 10 pieces of ningyo yaki, but it's been a week since he brought it from Japan, so there are only a few pieces of ningyo yaki left now. ;) These were made to look like faces of Seven Lucky Gods (七福神), which are believed to guarantee good luck in Japan.

2. Mame Taiyaki (豆たい焼き) 
4 Pieces Each Box
429 yen / 390 yen Each Box at Tokusenwagashikan at Haneda Airport

Mame Taiyaki 豆たい焼き

     Mame (豆) in Japanese means a pea, but it's also sometimes used to express "small" or "tiny". You probably know shiba inu (柴犬), one of dog breeds originated from Japan. The smaller sized shiba inu is called mame shiba (豆柴). Anyway, this mame taiyaki is not typical taiyaki, a Japanese fish-shaped cake. Now, you know that mame taiyaki is very small taiyaki.

     Each box contained four pieces of mame taiyaki.

     Can you notice that it is fish-shaped? The white package one has mame taiyaki which has sweetened red bean pastes in it. To me, it tasted like ningyo yaki rather than typical taiyaki.

       The yellow box has 4 pieces of mame taiyaki which has kuri kinton pastes in it. Kuri kinton (栗きんとん) is Japanese traditional sweets made of chestnut, which is called kuri (栗) in Japanese. In Japan, it's believed that women love chestnuts, potatoes and pumpkins. I think it's true that I love sweets made from those. :)
