| Don't eat me! |
It's easy to pretend daifuku are sort of healthy. They're basically beans wrapped in rice. Except that ingredients three through five are different types of sugar, and then, at least in ones like this guy that come from the convenience store, there are another half dozen ingredients that we probably don't even want to know about: preservatives, stabilizers and who knows what. Still, they've got that same "traditional Japanese" halo effect that makes chicken karaage seem healthier than Kentucky fried and a giant, fluorescent kakigori more calorie-neutral than a Slurpee. I wonder if anyone from Japan ever feels that way about, say, a snickers bar. Nah.
