Kakehashis
Kakehashis are a type of traditional Japanese confectionery, originating from the Tohoku region of Japan. They are small, round, and sweet treats, typically made from a mixture of sugar, water, and starch, such as potato starch or cornstarch. The mixture is heated until it reaches a specific temperature, then poured into a mold to cool and solidify. Kakehashis are often flavored with various ingredients, such as matcha (green tea), kinako (roasted soybean flour), or other natural flavors. They are typically served as a snack or dessert and are known for their chewy texture and mild sweetness. Kakehashis have been a popular treat in Japan for centuries and are often enjoyed during festivals and special occasions.
