Are you a dessert lover? Here is something new which you will like.A new dessert sold from a roadside stand in Tokyo's Akihabara electronics district is drawing crowds with its unique taste -- exactly like that of freshly fallen snow.
The appeal isn't in the flavor (it's just frozen water) but in what food experts call the mouth-feel. This dessert, called xue-hua-bin ("snowflake ice"), replicates it perfectly: the dry, powdery, airy crystals that crunch lightly in your mouth before quickly melting.
The unique dessert had its origins in Taiwan's nighttime street fairs, but is slowly making its way around the world.
It cost $3.25 USD in Japan.
