Hallisi

Hallisi is a traditional Japanese confectionery made from a mixture of sugar, water, and starch, often derived from rice or potato. The mixture is heated until it reaches a specific temperature, then poured into a mold to cool and set. Hallisi is typically white and translucent, with a smooth, glossy surface. It is often flavored with various ingredients such as fruit juices, extracts, or spices, which are added to the mixture before or after heating. Hallisi is known for its delicate texture and subtle sweetness, making it a popular treat in Japanese cuisine. It is often served chilled and can be found in various shapes and sizes, including small cubes, thin slices, or large blocks. Hallisi is also used as a base for other desserts, such as ice cream or fruit salads. The confectionery has a long history in Japan, with its origins dating back to the Edo period. Today, hallisi remains a beloved treat, enjoyed by both locals and visitors alike.
