Mankiws

Mankiws, also known as Mankiw's, are a type of traditional Japanese confectionery. They are small, round, and typically made from a mixture of sugar, water, and starch, which is then boiled and cooled to form a hard, translucent candy. Mankiws are often flavored with various ingredients such as fruit juices, extracts, or spices, giving them a range of tastes from sweet to tangy. They are commonly used as a topping for desserts, such as ice cream and mochi, or as a snack on their own. The name "Mankiw" is derived from the Japanese word "manju," which refers to a type of sweet dumpling, and "kiwami," meaning "to shape" or "to form." The exact origin of Mankiws is unclear, but they have been a popular treat in Japan for centuries. Today, Mankiws are widely available in Japanese supermarkets and specialty food stores, and they continue to be a beloved confectionery among both locals and tourists.
