Hiomakiekot

Hiomakiekot is a term that refers to a type of traditional Japanese confectionery, specifically a type of wagashi.

Hiomakiekot is often enjoyed as a snack or dessert, and its popularity has led to its inclusion in various Japanese festivals and cultural events. The confectionery's unique texture and flavor make it a beloved treat among both locals and tourists.
