最中 (Saichuu) is a Japanese word that can have different meanings depending on the context in which it is used. In general, it may refer to a type of Japanese candy made with a glutinous rice dough stuffed with sweet bean paste, fruits or other ingredients. It can also be used to describe something that is in the middle or in the center of something, or to indicate a crucial or decisive moment in a situation. The etymology of the word 最中 is composed of the characters 最 (leaves), which means "taller" or "the highest", and 中 (Chuu), which means "middle" or "center".
