Busu no kobu by sawagiku
UGLY'S LUMP? BUSU NO KOBU.
First impression of naming of this sweet made me believed that it's "ugly's lump". I have two reasons for that.
No1. Japanese word of "busu" usually means "ugly", and "kobu" means "lump". ("no" in Japanese means "of" or "'s" for possessive)
No2. It looks like a lump. (doesn't it?)
Well, according to Sawagiku, it means something else. "Basin of Ainu". A word "busu" was changed word of "busi" which meant people of Ainu. And, a word "kobu" means basin.
What so catchy is not only the naming of the product but also the taste.
