Japanese Netizens Start a New Croissant Trend
Recently, croissants have sparked a global culinary frenzy, with Korea’s “Flat Croissant” becoming a particularly hot item. Now, Japan has introduced an astonishing new way to enjoy croissants. A Japanese netizen shared on social media their discovery of combining croissants with oden (Japanese hot pot). This unexpected combination turned out to be delicious, sparking widespread discussion among netizens.
Croissants Soak Up the Broth, Stunning Taste Buds
A Japanese netizen, DJ Kyuko (@djqko), posted two photos on the X platform, showcasing his innovative creation of combining croissants with oden. He mentioned that this spontaneous idea allowed the croissant to soak up the flavorful broth of the oden, making each bite a delightful surprise. He described it as “extremely delicious.” The post quickly gained attention, prompting another Japanese netizen to follow suit by sharing a photo of “Banana Oden,” claiming it was also surprisingly tasty, much to the astonishment of other users.
Heated Reactions and Discussions on Creative Cuisine
These inventive dishes sparked intense discussions online. Many netizens exclaimed, “Only the Japanese could come up with this,” “The French will probably go crazy,” and “This is definitely a mysteriously delicious dark cuisine.” While some expressed skepticism, many others were intrigued and curious about these novel combinations.
It’s worth noting that although croissants are widely regarded as a quintessential French delicacy, they actually originated in Austria. Austrian Princess Marie Antoinette brought the croissant to France in the 18th century when she married King Louis XVI, popularizing it among the French nobility. This historical background adds even more cultural significance to the croissant.
