Java Code isn't working properly when it should

So i have been trying to help myself learn a japanese by making a randomizer. when i run this code it says there are errors but ive looked through and can't find any. for some reason it doesn't see that the Ename is the same as answer. they are both string variables so i don't understand why it wont work properly. I would love to learn why it isn't working. Thank you for those more knowledgable than me.

import java.util.Random; import java.util.Scanner;

public class Game { Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in);

public int enemyCount = 4; // always need to be one less than the enemy

public String Jname;//Japanese Character
public String Ename;//English Character


public static void main(String[] args) 
{

    new Game();

}

public Game(){

    battleMainMenu();
}

public void RandomEnemy() 
{


    Random random = new Random();

    int rnd = random.nextInt(enemyCount);

    if (rnd == 0)
    {

        Jname= "あ";

        Ename= "a";

    }
    else if (rnd == 1)
    {

        Jname ="い";

        Ename ="i";


    }
    else if (rnd == 2)
    {

        Jname="う";

        Ename="u";

    }
    else if (rnd == 3)
    {

        Jname="え";

        Ename="e";

    }
    else if (rnd == 4)
    {

        Jname="お";

        Ename="o";

    }

    System.out.println("\nYou walk around and encounter a "+ Jname );

}

public void battleMainMenu() 
{
    RandomEnemy();

    System.out.println("\nTo defeat this enemy you must write "+ Jname +"'s name in english. " + Ename);// Enames here for debugging purposes
    System.out.println("Your options are : 'a', 'i', 'u', 'e', 'o' ");
    System.out.println("Type one of the options in lower case. ");

    String answer = in.nextLine();
    System.out.println(answer);
    System.out.println(Ename);
    if (answer == Ename)
    {
        System.out.println("\nCorrect!\n");

    }
    else
    {
        System.out.println("\nIncorrect!\n");
        battleMainMenu();
    }
}

}
