Japanese Famous Sweet and Hero

Our guest after the journey from the west of Japan gave us the sweet. It's a sort of race cakes. The race cake called "Kibi-dan-go" has the story about a hero named "Momo-tarou". The guy was born from a big peach and he got friends, a monkey, bird and dog. And he went to an island of ogres. They wiped out the ogres and got treasures.

The sweet is the key to make friend for the hero. He gave the sweet to make friends. 

It's one of the most famous stories in Japan. Every Japanese know it. 

Oh, NO! The sweets was not bribe! He just gave them because he has so many kibi-dan-go!

Giving something to somebody means good. Of course it's a good beginning of the friendship.
