Kichip
Kichip is a traditional Japanese confectionery made from a mixture of rice flour, sugar, and water. It is often flavored with matcha, a powdered green tea, or other natural flavors such as cinnamon or vanilla. The mixture is then formed into small, round balls and boiled in water until they become translucent and slightly firm. Kichip is typically served chilled and is known for its chewy texture and mild sweetness. It is a popular snack in Japan and is often enjoyed as a refreshing treat during the hot summer months. Kichip can be found in various forms, including plain, flavored, and even in the form of ice cream. Its simplicity and versatility have made it a beloved confectionery across Japan.
