Vijims
Vijims are a type of traditional Japanese confectionery, originating from the Tohoku region of Japan. They are small, round, and typically made from a mixture of sugar, water, and starch, which is then boiled and spun into thin threads. These threads are then twisted together to form a ball-like shape. Vijims are often flavored with various ingredients such as citrus zest, cinnamon, or matcha, and can be further coated with chocolate or other toppings. They are known for their delicate texture and sweet flavor, making them a popular treat during festivals and special occasions. Vijims are also commonly used in traditional Japanese sweets and desserts, adding a unique and visually appealing element to various confections.
