Like I said, thin, not-very-sweet soup. If something starchy, like a pancake, again they’re not very sweet, and there’s a “healthy” element and some sense of balance. The dessert I had at Shibumi was sweet potato with miso.
Those are at the opposite end of the spectrum from western-style, very sweet, utterly imbalanced desserts like pie, cake, ice cream, sticky toffee pudding, or gateau Victoire.
