#203.Audiobook sample, making question sentences. XはYですか? そして和菓子のねりきり

from jENI NO PIKA PIKA NIHONGO 日本語

Hello. Welcome to Jenni's Pika Pika Japanese. Today's Japanese lesson is about making sentences that ask questions. X is Y desu "ka"? Adding this 'ka' makes it a question sentence. Listen to the episode to learn more. Now, today, I found an article written about wagashi, so I looked up wagashi. Wagashi is different from Western confectionery, which uses butter and cream, so foreigners who eat it for the first time are afraid to try it because they are afraid of not knowing what it is, and the taste is also unfamiliar, so at first, it is hard to approach it with a 'hmm' feeling. However, after eating it a few times, many people gradually become fans because of its beautiful appearance and gentle sweetness. Have you ever heard of a Japanese confectionery called "Nerikiri"? Nerikiri is an artistic Japanese confectionery made by copying seasonal scenes, etc. It is made by kneading white sweet bean paste and Gyuhi to make a dough, then colouring the dough with coloured powder to create seasonal shapes. They look beautiful, don't they? こんにちは。 ジェニのピカピカ日本語へようこそ。 今日の日本語学習は質問をする文の作成です。 XはYです「か」? この「か」をつけることで質問分になります。 詳しくはエピソードを聞いて学習してください。 さて、今日は、和菓子について書かれていた記事を見つけたので和菓子について調べてみました。 和菓子は、バターやクリームを使う洋菓子と違うので、初めて食べる外国人には、なんだかわからないという怖さから、恐々口にし、そして、その味もあまり馴染みがないので最初は「うーん」ととっつきにくいのですが、何回か食べると、その見た目の美しさやほんのりとしたやさしい甘味から、だんだんとファンになって行く場合も多いようです。 さて「練り切り」という和菓子をご存知ですか? 練りきりとは、季節の風物などを写しとって作られる芸術的な和菓子で、白のこしあんとつなぎになる求肥(ぎゅうひ)をしっかりねってねりきり生地を作り、練りきり生地に色粉などで色を付け、四季折々の形が作られます。 見た目が綺麗でしょ。
