Dosaks

Dosaks are a type of traditional Japanese confectionery, originating from the Tohoku region of Japan. They are small, round, and sweet, typically made from a mixture of sugar, water, and starch, which is then boiled and poured into molds. The resulting dosaks are often coated in a thin layer of sugar or flavored with ingredients like cinnamon or matcha. They are commonly enjoyed as a snack or dessert, and their popularity has led to various regional variations across Japan. Dosaks are known for their chewy texture and mild sweetness, making them a favorite among both locals and tourists. The production of dosaks involves careful control of the boiling process to ensure the desired consistency and flavor. Today, dosaks can be found in various forms, including those made with different types of starch and those infused with various flavors. Despite their simple ingredients, dosaks have become an iconic part of Japanese confectionery culture.
