In the past, sweets that were often made at home were
This is Paw Paw (・∇・)ノ

And here is the matcha flavored pawpaw.

Yomitan Village Sobe is very famous for Paw Paw,
This is a pawpaw made by Sobe,
It's made of soft and thick fabric (*^^*)

They look completely different,
Both are also called pawpaw (・∇・)ノ

In Okinawa, something very similar to Paw Paw,
There is also something called a "chinbin".

However, depending on the region, the names of these two words may be opposite.

Where I grew up, Okinawan-style crepes with brown sugar in the dough

Since I was little, I still prefer Paw Paw (^^)
