kannü

Kannü is a traditional Japanese confectionery made from a mixture of sugar, water, and starch, typically from sweet potatoes or chestnuts. The mixture is heated until it reaches a specific temperature, then poured into a mold to cool and set. Kannü is known for its smooth, chewy texture and mild, sweet flavor. It is often used as a filling for various Japanese sweets, such as mochi and daifuku, as well as in traditional desserts like kannü-zakana (kannü with fish) and kannü-tsukemono (kannü with pickled vegetables). Kannü has a long history in Japan, dating back to the Edo period, and is still popular today, particularly in the Kansai region. It is also a popular ingredient in modern Japanese confectionery and desserts.
