Aoki Koetsudo 'Manpukuji Konpeito'
These konpeito (sugar candies) are made by Aoki Koetsudo, a specialty konpeito shop in Yamashina, Kyoto, founded in 1892. Named after Manpukuji Temple in Uji, this item is perfect as a souvenir for temple visitors. Konpeito is an extremely labor-intensive sweet, where artisans spend many days in front of a cauldron, gradually adding syrup to grow each tiny grain's characteristic points. Its charm lies in its colorful, cute appearance and the simple sweetness that melts gently in the mouth. Just looking at them brightens your mood. Within these small grains, artisan skill and long hours of time are tightly packed. It is a traditional Kyoto sweet that is as much fun to look at as it is delicious to eat.
