Pener

Pener is a traditional Japanese confectionery made from a mixture of sugar, water, and starch. It is often flavored with various ingredients such as fruit, nuts, or spices. The mixture is heated until it reaches a specific temperature, then poured into molds to cool and set. Pener is typically served chilled and is known for its smooth, chewy texture and sweet flavor. It is a popular treat in Japan, often enjoyed as a dessert or snack. The term "pener" is derived from the Dutch word "paneer," which means "curd" or "cheese," reflecting the process of setting the mixture. Pener is also known as "kuri" in some regions.
