The Haiku Kookie is the Japanese restaurateurs alternative
to the Chinese Fortune Cookie.
What is “Haiku”?
Haiku is a very popular form of Japanese poetry
with origins going back many centuries.
Haiku’s are very short written expressions that
convey a vivid impression, usually only three short lines
averaging twelve syllables, but never more than seventeen.
A Haiku is a first impression, like a snapshot that
strikes the mind suddenly upon feeling, seeing, hearing or
thinking about something, someone or some event.
Consequently the written words are akin to
shorthand, devoid of proper sentence structure, grammar,
punctuation or spelling, it is just the simplistic basics
of the perception are noted.
The beauty of Haiku is this simplicity which can
convey so much awareness and meaning.
Modern Haiku is now practiced throughout the world and
covers every conceivable subject. The Internet must be
given credit for bringing Haiku to the masses.
Just go to the Google Search Engine or Amazon.com
and type in “haiku” and be prepared for a deluge of Haiku
information and books from all over the world.
What is a “Haiku Kookie”?
A Haiku Kookie is the Japanese restaurateurs answer
to the Chinese Fortune Cookie.
When you finish a Chinese meal you usually receive
with the bill a few Fortune Cookies, in a Japanese
restaurant you only get the bill.
But from this day forth forward thinking Japanese
restaurants will provide tasty rolled almond cookies
containing a Haiku.
Simply snap the rolled cookie in half, eat, read,
discuss, ponder and enjoy.
