Biwa Amber Sugar (Kohakutou)

Its transparent appearance is just like a gemstone. This beautiful Kohakutou is inspired by Lake Biwa. Kohakutou is a traditional Japanese confectionery made from agar and sugar. By drying it, a unique dual texture is created: crunchy on the outside and jelly-like on the inside. This sweet, crafted in a blue color reminiscent of Lake Biwa, became a hot topic on social media due to its beauty. You can enjoy it repeatedly—by gazing at it, photographing it, and tasting it. Its sparkling, light-transmitting form is enchanting just to look at. It is a Shiga souvenir that can be enjoyed with both the eyes and the tongue, melting with a crunchy texture once in your mouth. It is a fun treat that children are sure to love.
