About this deal

Often the brands of candy that are available in Japan are different from the West. For example, in the West you have Skittles - those chewy, fruit-flavored discs with a huge variety of flavors. In Japan, Skittles are a rarity, and there aren’t many candies that can compare - perhaps Mentos is the closest alternative available in Japan. The good news is that you don't have to travel all the way to Japan to sample these Japanese treats. If not, you can get the traditional Japanese sugar candy online from a variety of vendors. You might be able to find a bag of Konpeito in your neighborhood Asian market.

Put the mixture into the fridge and let it chill for a few hours. Mine set in only one hour. How do you make edible crystals? It is also said that it takes an immense amount of skill to make these tiny candies. Not only is the Dora machine difficult to use due to its size and the fact that it was invented in the Meiji period, but there also must be an extreme amount of care and detail that goes into each konpeito. Some say that it even takes more than 20 years of experience to get the technique right! Uses of Konpeito Making the kohakutou is actually really simple. You dissolve the agar agar into the water and bring it to a boil. This is different than using gelatin, you would never boil gelatin, only bloom and then dissolve it. All Tofu Cute content is original. Please don't copy any portion of product descriptions or images without permission Taffy - A number of taffy-like candies are available, but perhaps the most popular is Hi-Chew . If you like Starburst (Western candy), then Hi-Chew is a great choice. It has that fruity, taffy quality.The most noticeable difference between Japanese and Western candy is probably how sweet it is. Japanese candy is sweet - yes - but compared to candies in the West, it doesn’t usually reach that same sweetness level. Japanese candies tend to be more on the sour side, too. Western candies, even if they’re sour, are still sweeter most of the time. Japanese candy also tends to have some flavors that Westerners might find unusual - like matcha for example (an edible green tea). Felice Fischer (2008).

Kohakutou is a Japanese candy made from Agar Agar and translates to "amber candy". Kohakutou is made by pouring flavored jelly into a dish and allowing it to set before cutting or tearing into crystal shapes. The candy develops a crunchy outer crust after a few days but remains delightfully chewy inside. The word ‘konpeito’ itself comes from the Portuguese word ‘confeito’, which means confection or candy. A notable example of konpeito’s introduction in Japan is when Portuguese trader, Luis Frois, gifted Oda Nobunaga, one of the most famous Japanese rulers, konpeito. Frois had presented konpeito in a glass flask, and gave it to Nobunaga as an offering to let the Portuguese continue along with their missionary work. The most noticeable difference between Japanese and American candy is probably how sweet it is. Japanese candy is sweet - yes - but compared to candies in the US, it just doesn’t reach that same sweetness level. Japanese candies tend to be more on the sour side, actually. American candies, even if they’re sour, are still sweeter. Japanese candy also tends to have some flavors that Americans might find unusual - like matcha for example (an edible green tea). Regarding taste, this Caramel Peanut Crunch treat has a sweet buttery flavour from the caramel. In addition, crushed peanuts add a nutty and crunchy texture. The combination of flavours and textures create a satisfying and delicious treat. Where do we begin? There are so many types of candy in Japan. Let’s break them down into a few broad categories first: hard candy, soft candy, and gummies (yes, gummy candy is soft, too, but it’s getting its own category).
