[Commission] Mochicandy on a Lovely Day!
Scenery commission purchased by Kinimi Thank you!
On a pretty lovely day in the city of Gold Ring, Astara the Sergal is enjoying her Mochicandy in a front of a sweet shop, where is lush with Eltus and Talyxian roadside plant emplacements alike, giving off a peaceful, harmonious atmosphere between the two~!
Mochicandy (餅飴, Mochi-ame) is one of the common sweets in regions of civilized Sergals and Agudners, such as Gold Ring and Reono. It's a form of baked and skewered mochi (Japanese rice cake made of soft and chewy rice) that is coated with colored sugar candy glaze, a syrup of sorts, much like candy apple coating.
People can enjoy its chewy and bouncy mouthfeel of mochi with crunchy candy coating.
Mochi is a kinda well-known Japanese food for the Vilous community, because of the presence of the Mochicandy! But some people may not know what mochi is. Some may even think it's a fictional food unique to Vilous. However, as Japanese, we would like to explain what it is actually.
Mochi is not a perfectly fictional food that is specific to the Vilous Universe. The same food exists in the real world, Japan, and other Asian areas. Especially in Japan, mochi is a very familiar and traditional food and there is a very wide variety of styles.
As you can understand from it's also called "rice cake", it's made of glutinous rice that was pounded into paste and molded into the desired shape. Due to the rich starch, mochi has basically a very chewy, bouncy, and sticky texture. But it can be smoother and softer and even squishy depending on other ingredients. To put it simply for Western people, its texture can be similar to a range of chewy dough, gummy candy, and marshmallow.
Mochi is known as sweet food among some Western people. However, in actuality, mochi is exactly a "blank" type of food like plain bread because it's made of only rice almost, so mochi itself tastes nothing but just a pure flavor of rice itself. However, it's why mochi is very flexible as an ingredient. They can become either sweet or also savory or even salty foods.
When it comes to Mochicandy in the Vilous Universe, we expect its mochi has a somewhat harder texture than normal mochi. It would be similar to hard gummy candy but chewier and bouncier.
Planet Tal is populated by wondrous creatures and strange, exotic, alien flora called Talyxians, they fulfill "normal" sceneries of the natural environment with strange plants which do not have chlorophyll, these are not commonly green, but rather exhibit hues in the purple, red, pink, orange, blue, or monochromatic scale.
However, plants that fall under the Eltus organism group make different sights from these Talyxian plants. Eltus plants have a similar biology to common plants on Earth, featuring the presence of chlorophyll and display an appearance that is similar to that of common plants on Earth. Due to this, they are also known as and called "green plants" among Eltus folks. As they are a fairly rare sight, they are recognized as highly valuable, desirable, precious items among Eltus folks. For now, only two places are confirmed as the main habitation of Eltus plants: The protected Eltus plantations within the Gold Ring nation and the Eltus biomes sanctuary on summit areas of the Lyvank Mountains. Cultivated and potted Eltus plants can be seen in various places in cities in Gold Ring.
In this artwork, there are also Talyxian plants behind Astara, the tree with orange leaves, and also pink moss on the trunk~!
[The left tag on the wall of the shop] 甘ずぼ - "Sweet Zuvo" - Zuvo is a term to show sandwich-type foods in the Vilous Universe, the most well-known "Zuvo" is a hamburger type one, but because the term Zuvo itself purely covers every type of food which forms sandwich-style, so I guessed that there are wider variants of foods called "Zuvo". Sweet Zuvo is also one of the samples that I imagined, it's some sort of sweets but having a hamburger-like shape. Maybe it could be like a French macaroon or ice cream sandwich, or even a profiterole/cream puff!
[The right tag on the wall of the shop] もちアメ - "Mochi Candy" - Yes, it's Mochicandy!
[Paper bag] - おかし - "Sweets/Confection" - The kanji-like characters on both ends of this word intend a broken/alien version of "甘", a kanji means "sweet."
