A discussion of recent search trends
The women’s free skating competition at the 2026 Winter Olympics is now in full swing, and the whole country is excited about the success of ice fairies such as Alisa Ryu, Shinba Higuchi, and Momone Chiba. This interest in “beauty on ice” will spill over into the world of sweets as well, with demand for “transparency,” “gradation of white and blue,” and designs that convey a dignified sense of coolness. In addition, while the cold wave has been so severe that snow storm warnings have been issued, celebrities of all ages such as Ms. Shin Terada and Ms. Yukipoyo have become the talk of the town, and people are reaffirming their appreciation of “home time” spent warmly in the comfort of their homes. The style of enjoying contrasting temperatures and visual presentation is likely to become a trend this winter, such as daring to enjoy hot, melting sweets while watching the cold, beautiful world of the silver screen, or making baked goods with crystal decorations reminiscent of ice.
