buckwheat mooncake

Mooncakes are a sweet that originated in China and are said to have been served during celebrations of the Mid-Autumn Harvest Moon.

No monkey

Monkey fruit is smaller than kiwi fruit and is also called "baby kiwi" in English. Since there is no hair on the surface, it can be eaten with the skin intact, and it is also used for processed products such as fruit wine and jam. It has very high nutritional value such as vitamin C, and contains large amounts of proteolytic enzymes. It is said to be effective in recovering from fatigue, tonicizing, and regulating the intestines.
