Lake Kanji, a cafe located in the central district of Osaka, Japan, has launched "Chinese character cookies", the Asahi Shimbun reported.

The coffee shop is located on the second floor of a building with a storefront about the size of four tatami mats. The walls of the store are dark blue at the bottom of the lake, and food-related books are kept in the refrigerator, not on the bookshelf.

Sukehi Shougu, 35, started running the coffee shop in May 2016. Except for the regular rest day Wednesday, the coffee shop is unattended on weekdays from 11:00 to 3 p.m., and guests are free to read the books in the shop. Shougu Sukekei will be in the store from 3: 00 p.m. to 9: 00 p.m. There will also be book clubs and haiku meetings on Sundays.

Shougu studied art at Sukehi University and then worked in a customer service center. At the age of 30, Shougu decided to rethink and do what he wanted to do. So he began to want to run a "coffee shop" that not only contributes to food and beverage, but also contributes to the spread and exchange of culture.

Since 2015, Shougu Sukeyou has started to make preparations, such as holding a book club at home. In today's society, with the popularity of computers and mobile phones, words and characters are changing as rapidly as symbols. Therefore, Shougu really feels that it is necessary for people to get in touch with the text, think about its form and meaning, and understand its interest.

As a result, Shougu really thought of "Chinese character cookies". "Chinese character cookies" can be carefully observed in the hand, but also can be eaten. The raw materials are wheat flour, three-temperature sugar, rice bran oil, salt, eggs and olive oil. The dough is drawn long and thin, and then the Chinese characters are spelled out one stroke at a time.

Coffee shops will choose different Chinese characters according to the activities they carry out. Shougu Sukehi introduced: "such as the word 'inter'. Although 'Jian' is abstract, Chinese characters give it shape. It's very interesting to think like this. " People will communicate enthusiastically when they eat cookies together. So far, the coffee shop has selected more than 100 Chinese characters to make "Chinese character cookies", of which the most difficult one is "whole". If there is a customer reservation, you can also customize "Chinese character cookies" according to the customer, 200 yen per word (including tax, about 12 yuan).
