Kikuyaya Tsuki no Shizuku (Drops of Moonlight)
A legendary confection that Yamanashi is proud of: Kikuyaya's 'Tsuki no Shizuku.' This seasonal item, available from autumn to winter, features individual Koshu grapes carefully coated in a white sugar syrup. Its origins date back to the Meiji era. Legend has it that while preparing sugar syrup, a single grape rolled in and cooled, hardening into white crystals. Because it looked like drops of moonlight falling over a vineyard, it was given this poetic name. This is a labor-intensive local confection made possible specifically by the thick-skinned Koshu grapes. When you bite through the crunchy sugar coating, sweet and tart fruit juice bursts in your mouth. Please enjoy this seasonal flavor that is only available during the period of fresh grape harvests.
