Daigaku Imo with Honey (Fried sweet potato with honey)

Ingredients
2 sweet potatoes
1 ½ tbsp honey
Oil, for frying
1 tsp of black sesame seeds

Preparation
Clean sweet potatoes with water. Cut them into bite-sized chunks with keeping the skin on. Clean the chunks again and wipe off excess water. Slowly deep-fry the potatoes in a skillet over a low heat, until they turn slightly golden. Mix fried sweet potatoes with honey in a bowl. Sprinkle black sesame in the potatoes and serve it hot or cold.

Dora-yaki (red bean pancakes)

These small pancakes are very popular in Japan. They consist of all types of fillings. A filling made from the azuki beans is the most traditional.

Ingredients
2 cups white flour
1 egg white, beaten until fluffy
4 tsp sugar
Six-ounce can of azuki beans
1 cup water
Vegetable oil

Preparation
Make a mixture of flour and sugar in a bowl and add water to make a batter. Then add the egg white. Add some vegetable oil in a heated nonstick frying pan. Drop 2 tablespoons of batter on the pan and allow it to spread by itself. Wait till tiny bubbles appear in the pancake. When the bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake, flip it and fry the uncooked side for about 30 seconds. Then remove it. Make pancakes from all the batter. Mash the azuki beans and mix with sugar to form a thick sweet paste. Spread this paste on the pancake and place a topping of another pancake over it. Dora-yaki should be served at room temperature.

Ice Cream. Japanese people love ice cream. Not very Japanese I know but no Japanese will turn down an ice cream (well none that I have encountered, anyway).
