Korotitte

Korotitte is a traditional Japanese confectionery made from a sweet rice flour dough, often flavored with matcha or other ingredients. The term "korotitte" is derived from the Japanese words "korokoro" meaning "jiggle" or "wobble," and "tite" meaning "small." This name reflects the characteristic wobbly texture of the confectionery when it is heated or eaten.

The dough is typically made from a mixture of sweet rice flour, water, and sometimes sugar or other flavorings. It is then shaped into small, round balls and steamed until it becomes soft and slightly translucent. Korotitte is often served warm, either on its own or with a drizzle of sweet syrup or a sprinkle of powdered sugar.

Korotitte is a popular dessert in Japan, particularly during the summer months. It is often enjoyed as a snack or a light dessert, and its soft, chewy texture makes it a favorite among many. The confectionery is also a popular ingredient in various Japanese sweets and desserts, such as mochi and daifuku.

In recent years, korotitte has gained popularity outside of Japan as well, with many international bakeries and dessert shops offering their own versions of this traditional Japanese treat. Despite its simple ingredients, korotitte's unique texture and flavor have made it a beloved confectionery around the world.
