Chousen Ame (Korean Candy)
When picked up with your fingers, it is moist and chewy. Upon entering the mouth, an elegant sweetness slowly spreads, accompanied by the soft mouthfeel of potato starch, leaving a long-lasting aftertaste. It is a Japanese sweet with a pleasant, gentle texture similar to gyuhi. As a traditional confection passed down in Kumamoto for over 400 years, glutinous rice, starch syrup, and sugar are kneaded together, cut into rectangles, and coated with potato starch. The long-established Sonodaya has continued to produce it since the Azuchi-Momoyama period; because it is nutritious and has a long shelf life, it is said that Kato Kiyomasa carried it as military rations. When enjoyed with tea, its simple sweetness provides a moment of relaxation. It is a unique Kumamoto confection that allows you to taste a long history in every bite.
