Easy to make. Prepare two pieces of bread for sandwiches, apply peanut butter on one side, and jelly (jam) on the other side, and you're done. This time, I used chunked peanut butter and strawberry jam.

Unlike peanut cream, peanut butter is more salty than sweet. So good balance. Saa, Douzo!

this is…! The saltiness of peanut butter and the sweet and sour taste of jam complement each other so that you can eat without getting tired of it.

The texture of the crispy jelly and the crunchy peanut chunks is also fun.

Diplomat Hayashi Akira

You can add chocolate or banana if you like

Diplomat Hayashi Akira
When bananas are added, the freshness and volume will come out, and the feeling of feast will improve at once.

Diplomat Hayashi Akira
When cheese is added, the saltiness wins and it becomes a side dish closer to the sandwich. The rich flavor of cheese and peanuts is the main ingredient, and the sweet and sour taste of jelly adds an accent.

PB & J has become popular among Americans since the 1920s when it was easy and cheap to make and became an energy source. Nowadays, it is a standard lunch box for kids. Popular mass in Canada.

Diplomat Hayashi Akira that? Perry's arrival in Uraga was in 1853 ...

According to some statistics, the average American eats more than 1,500 PB & Js by the time he graduates from high school.

Diplomat Hayashi Akira
If you start eating at the age of 4, do you eat 100 pieces a year? It's like "rice balls" in Japan.

Perry who came by Kurofune
If you open the country, will you be able to meet "rice balls" around the world?
