Galipi
Galipi is a traditional Japanese confectionery made from a mixture of sugar, water, and starch, typically derived from rice or potato. The mixture is heated until it reaches a specific temperature, then poured into a mold to create a solid, translucent block. Galipi is often flavored with various ingredients such as fruit, nuts, or spices, and can be further processed to create different textures and shapes. It is commonly used in Japanese cuisine, particularly in desserts and sweets, and is known for its smooth, creamy texture and mild sweetness. Galipi has a long history in Japan, with its origins dating back to the Edo period. Today, it remains a popular ingredient in traditional Japanese sweets and confections, and is often used in modern recipes as well.
