Konpeito of Lake Biwa's Evening Glow

Beautiful konpeito (sugar candy) reflecting the sunset sinking into Lake Biwa. It was inspired by 'Seta no Sekisho,' one of the Eight Views of Omi. 'Seta no Sekisho' describes the scene where the setting sun dyes the Kara Bridge, which spans the Seta River flowing from Lake Biwa, in a brilliant red. It is a representative landscape of Otsu that has been depicted in poems and paintings since ancient times. This konpeito reflects those colors in tiny sugar candies. It is a labor-intensive confection where artisans spend many days slowly growing the characteristic sugar points. The adorable, rounded shape and the gentle sweetness that melts in your mouth will bring the evening scenery of the lakeside back to life. It is a small jewel-like item that is delightful both to look at and to eat.
