Pekera

Pekera is a traditional Japanese sweet made from 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 dough is typically kneaded until smooth and then rolled out into thin sheets, which are then cut into various shapes and sizes. These sheets are then baked in an oven until they become crispy and golden brown. Pekera is a popular treat during the winter season, often served as a snack or dessert. It is known for its chewy texture and sweet flavor, making it a favorite among both children and adults. The name "pekera" comes from the Japanese word "peke," which means "to chew," reflecting the sweet's chewy nature.
