CAKES, CANDIES, SWEETMEATS
Chinese and Japanese
KATAMOCHI
This cracker comes ready prepared in boxes, and is good to serve with soups,
oysters, etc. For those who wish to make it, the following recipe is given:
Moisten the rice flour and allow it to rise of itself over night, no yeast or
baking powder being used. Add salt, and roll into thin crackers. The process is
precisely the same as the Jewish Matzoth cracker, and there appears to be a
similarity also in the names, which has caused students often to point to it as
another interesting evidence that the Japanese people are of Semitic
origin--perhaps the "lost tribe"!
YOMOGA GA SHIMA
This crisp little Japanese cake also comes prepared in boxes. It acquired fame
through its being the favorite cake of the late Mikado.
