How to say "fudge" in Japanese
Choosing the right word
- nounThe candy sense: a soft, very sweet confection of sugar, butter and milk. This less common loanword is the direct, straightforward name for the sweet itself.
- nounLiterally 'milk caramel', this names the same soft, milky candy and also covers soft toffee; it is a less common, descriptive way to say 'fudge'.
Both words cover only the confection sense, not the verb 'to fudge': 「ファッジ」 is the direct borrowing for the candy itself, while 「ミルクキャラメル」, literally 'milk caramel', is a descriptive alternative that also covers soft toffee.
