In the tourist kingdom of Okinawa, there are a variety of souvenirs. Chinsuko and awamori are well-known, but did you know that there is a confection called "habu no poison manju"? It is a manju that can play Russian roulette.



The ingredients list shows that the "Hazure" buns are made with Okinawan hot chili peppers. The "Hazure" one is an extremely spicy bun containing Okinawa's specialty "hot" chili pepper, "shimadachi" (island chili pepper).


The staff of the editorial department bought this Russian roulette bun as a souvenir from back home. It would be uninteresting if we just ate it as usual and reported on it. I thought of a way to enjoy eating it and came up with the idea of a "joint party.

Yes, if we set it up as a "joint party," it should be a lot of fun! Such things and such things might happen! It might even turn out to be fun!

Whenever we have an idea, we give it a try. We gathered some of the "lone workers" in the office and gave it a try. The following is a live report from the office!

Let's liven up a party with hot and spicy buns!

After the afternoon work was over and it was time for a snack, we set up a corner of the office for a blind date party. 6 hungry men and women gathered and the party got underway! We had a short chat, introducing ourselves and reporting on our current situations. Maybe I should have at least prepared some tea.... Oh well.

Now, today's main dish, "Habu no Tofu Manju," appeared. The reactions of the six people were half interest and half fear. They were a little scared to put their hands in the air.



Then, all at once, eat up! They seem to be gnawing on it stiffly, little by little. The six of us are silent for a minute, then a minute or two, and then...what? No one reacts. Could it be a defective product? Just then, one of the girls stood up and said, "I'm sorry.

Suddenly, one of the girls stood up! And then she fell down! Upon closer inspection, I noticed a subtle expression on her face. It seemed that she had drawn the "wrong" one. But, didn't it take too long for her to react?

When I asked her about it, she said, "It's a normal and tasty bun right after eating it, but the spiciness of the chili pepper comes slowly afterwards. I see, so that is why there was no reaction for a while.

Everyone had time to chew the steamed buns in silence, and the tension was getting low. The party with the "poison buns of habu" ended up not being a success.






At first, I was expecting to see a girl fainting in agony from the spiciness of the food and falling on the guy...a very exciting development, but I guess I made a mistake when I was seated in the first place. I had forgotten to ask them to sit next to each other. What a fiasco! If you use it for a party, be careful about the seating arrangement, it might be more exciting and exciting.

What? In case a guy hits on you? You just have to get over it with your spirit. This is your chance to show that you are a strong man!

That's all for now!

Conclusion

I tried to set up a situation called "a joint party," but this product proved that a joint party will not be a success (that's right). However, it is definitely a souvenir that everyone can get excited about. The editorial staff also had a lot of fun and enjoyed the party (even though the party itself was a bit crazy).

I also took a bite of the "disappointment," a very spicy bun, and to my surprise, the red bean paste and chili pepper matched each other surprisingly well. It might be a good accompaniment with awamori (Okinawa rice wine). However, in order to eat one "hit" bun, you have to eat up to five "normal tasty" buns. Hmmm...fukuzatsu.

Actually, I tried to find the "hit" by secretly breaking open a bun beforehand, but I couldn't distinguish the color of the red bean paste with chili pepper. I also smelled it, but could not distinguish it. It seems that you don't know until you try it. I guess it is best to enjoy playing Russian roulette.

This product is supposed to be eaten "in one bite! " I heard that this product is for eating. Oh, that's right...! If I had followed this rule properly, she, who was slow to react, might have fainted instantly.
