Recently, the most popular Chinese snack among young people in Japan is Malatang.
This delicacy from Sichuan has now become a candidate for Japan's "Buzzword of the Year" award.
Malatang is characterized by its numbing and spicy flavor.
"Numbing" comes from the Sichuan peppercorn, which makes the tongue tingle; "spicy" comes from chili peppers, making people want to eat more and more.
When eating Malatang, customers can choose their own ingredients, such as vegetables, meat, tofu, mushrooms, and vermicelli, then cook them in hot soup.
Everyone can create their own flavor, and this way is very popular among young people.
Another reason Malatang is popular in Japan is that many people like to take photos of it.
The colorful ingredients and spicy soup look very beautiful, and many people post photos on social media.
This way, more and more people learn about it and want to try it.
Also, Malatang contains many vegetables and some medicinal herbs and spices.
People think it is both delicious and healthy, and eating it doesn't feel burdensome.
One person can easily eat it alone without ordering too many ingredients, which is very convenient.
The popularity of Malatang continues to grow.
It is not only a kind of food but also has become a new lifestyle for young people in Japan.
Through a bowl of Malatang, people feel the charm of Chinese flavors.
