日本一家温泉旁边的商店开始贩卖一种“蜜桔饭团”，这是一种长得像可爱的小桔子的桔味饭团，饭团的顶端还嵌有绿色的树叶。 一打开饭团的包装，一股清香的桔味扑面而来。咬一小口饭团对舌头来讲都是十分大的惊喜。刚一开始你能感觉到米饭熟悉的味道，随后蜜桔的味道突然在口腔内爆炸，在齿颊之间弥漫开来。 将饭团一分为二，你会发现饭团中裹有鸡肉和炸豆腐。相比蜜桔的味道，鸡肉和豆腐的味道显得格外清淡。 Ehime Prefecture on the western coast of Shikoku is known all through Japan for its tasty mikan, or satsuma oranges. Although the fruit is delicious enough on its own, the people of Ehime love to think up new ways to enjoy the fresh taste of a local orange. In the past, we have seen funny-shaped oranges and even citrus-flavored fish, but now there’s a new way to get some vitamin C in your life: orange-flavored rice balls. We dropped by a shop near the hot springs that inspired Hayao Miyazaki’s Spirited Away which sells the rice balls. But these little delicacies are only available for a limited time, so click below to find out more about this surprisingly delicious culinary creation! This isn’t the first time Ehime has thought about putting oranges in their rice, apparently some lucky kids are served rice cooked with fresh-squeezed satsuma juice as part of their school lunch for a special treat. This interesting rice habit has been reported in Japanese media where audiences were pretty shocked to see what Ehime is putting in their rice! |
