外国人「３年前に日本で食べた、この緑色の名前が分からない…もう一度食べたいんだけど…」→

3 years after my trip in Japan, I’m still wondering what I ate.
I don’t know the name of that green stuff but it was so good and I wish to eat one again. I though maybe Reddit could help me

Did it taste fishy
魚の味？

It was very bland but with this strange sweet powder, it was perfect !
とてもさっぱりしていたけど、不思議な甘い粉のおかげで完璧だった！

Matcha something with a sesame sugar ?
抹茶にごま砂糖かな？

The taste was like a potato. Might be a vegetable but what ? Still a mystery for me
味はジャガイモ。野菜かもしれないけどなんなんだろう？　まだ謎

Was this in Nagano?
長野？

Fujikawaguchiko 🙂
富士河口湖 🙂

I think it’s yaki-yomogi manju (焼きよもぎまんじゅう), but the texture is not perfectly matching.
Did it taste like anything?
焼きよもぎまんじゅうっぽいけど、質感が違う感じがする。
どんな味だった？

Really the taste was bland with a compact texture. I’ve never eat that herb so I can’t compare. The only thing ≪ similar ≫ that I know is a potato.
ほんとに味は淡白でコンパクトな食感。
私はそのハーブを食べたことがないので、比較することはできません。 私が知っている唯一の「似ている」ものはジャガイモです。

what was the texture like?
You wrote compact, though I’m not sure exactly. Was it soft or hard? Chewy or dry/crumbling? That would give some clue about the main search used.
Searching through the internet making me hungry lol
質感はどうだった？
簡潔に書いてるけど、正確にわからないので…
柔らかいor硬い？　歯ごたえは？　乾燥・崩れは？
ネットで検索して探すときの手がかりになるから

検索してお腹すいた

The texture was hard, dry and it was pretty heavy for its size.
質感は硬く、乾いていて、重かったです。
