kissats

Kissats are a type of traditional Japanese confectionery, originating from the city of Kyoto. They are small, round, and sweet, typically made from a mixture of sugar, water, and starch. The name "kissatsu" translates to "thousand pieces" in Japanese, reflecting their small size and the large quantities they are often sold in. Kissats are often flavored with matcha, a type of green tea, or other natural flavors like citrus or fruit. They are a popular snack in Japan, often enjoyed as a sweet treat or used as a topping for other desserts. The production of kissats involves a process of boiling the sugar mixture until it reaches a specific temperature, then pouring it into molds to cool and solidify. Despite their simple ingredients, kissats have a unique texture and flavor that has made them a beloved treat for generations.
