In this final chapter of my travel diary, I'd like to introduce you to the "Japanese Marshmallow." Walking through a morning market one day, I passed a bunch of European tourists gawking at something being sold from a mini take-out window. Curious, I approached them and saw that the object of their attention was a weirdo shopkeep selling something that looked like banana tofu. The Euro-tourists couldn't make heads or tails of what the product was, so the shopkeep excitedly shouted at them in broken English, "It's not french toast. Oh no! It's Japanese marshmallow! You try now!" They quickly scampered away without buying anything, but I thought I'd give it a go.Tasted like scrambled eggs and sugar. Not that that is a bad thing.
Here's the recipe. I'm not sure what what "...baked 6" means. Maybe that is some sort of traditional Japanese cooking method.

Ha ha ha..I wonder why the directions were in English? Do the Japanese not eat this stuff? If the locals don't eat it, I'm gonna beat it.
I just got back from Takayama and was trying to find the recipie (as in, one I could follow) for that stuff - I loved it!
