[Reading Log] #9-2 I Love Snacks: With Souvenirs
The second book I finished reading in September is "I Love Snacks: With Souvenirs" by Tsukasa Sakaki.
I have read Sakaki-san's "Shortcake" and the "An of Japanese Sweets" series, and since both have sweets as their theme, I had the impression that the author must love sweet things, but I never imagined they would write an essay themed around snacks.
I borrowed this book from the person who recommended the "An of Japanese Sweets" series to me.
Reading it made me want to eat snacks.
I think that learning about the history of the snacks we eat casually every day gives us a slightly different perspective on them.
Snacks might not be strictly necessary, but I think the existence of snacks is the best, as eating them makes you forget unpleasant things and feel happy.
I could feel Sakaki-san's extraordinary passion for snacks, and every snack mentioned was very appealing.
There were several snacks I would like to try eating myself.
Marchen's Fruit Sandwich
Wako's Melon Parfait
Frederic Cassel's Millefeuille Vanille
Millefeuille Maison Francaise's Millefeuille Specialite
Most of these were shops in Ginza, so I hope I can eat them if I have the chance.
I thought it was wonderful to be able to love something to this extent.
I would like to read other books by Sakaki-san that feature snacks as a subject.
