[Machine Translation] Western confectionaries in Japan are said to have been brought to Japan by Portuguese missionaries in the 16th century, which greatly influenced Japanese confectionaries. Perhaps because of this, many Portuguese confections have a nostalgic flavor for Japanese people. The egg tarts that have become popular in Japan also have their roots in the Portuguese pastry pastel de nata. On the other hand, there are also many confections that are not so well known in Japan. They have their origins in monasteries and are characterized by their rich flavor and concentrated sweetness made with plenty of egg yolks. We have narrowed down these confections to 101 varieties and guide you through the history and story of each one in this book. Recipes are also included to deepen your understanding of these confections. The book also includes a column on Portuguese confectionery, providing a complete understanding of Portuguese confectionery culture.
