tetfi

Tetfi is a traditional Japanese confectionery made from sweet rice flour, sugar, and water. It is a type of mochi, a staple in Japanese cuisine, and is often enjoyed during the New Year's celebrations. The name "tetfi" is derived from the Japanese word "tetfu," which means "sweet rice cake." The process of making tetfi involves mixing sweet rice flour with water to form a dough, which is then shaped into small, round cakes. These cakes are typically glazed with a sweet syrup made from sugar and water, giving them a shiny, glossy appearance. Tetfi is known for its chewy texture and mild sweetness, making it a popular treat among both children and adults. It is often served as a snack or dessert and can be found in various forms, including plain, flavored with fruit, or filled with sweet red bean paste. The tradition of making and enjoying tetfi dates back centuries and continues to be a beloved part of Japanese culture.
