Shimabara Spring Water Kanzarashi

This is a souvenir version of 'Kanzarashi,' a refreshing sweet famous in Shimabara, designed to be enjoyed at home. Following the 1792 crustal movement known as the 'Shimabara Great Earthquake,' Shimabara became a 'City of Water' with pure water springing up throughout the town. It is said that the name 'Kanzarashi' originates from the tradition of making shiratama-ko by processing glutinous rice with water during the cold season, and preserving the resulting dumplings in cold spring water during the summer. This is a uniquely Shimabara summer treat consisting of shiratama dumplings topped with sweet syrup. It is a 'soul sweet' you must try when visiting Shimabara. Enjoy the chewy texture of the shiratama and the gentle sweetness of the syrup. Please savor it while feeling the abundance of water and the wisdom of life in Shimabara.
