whitos
Whitos are a type of traditional Japanese confectionery, originating from the Tohoku region of Japan. They are small, round, and white in color, resembling small marshmallows. Whitos are made from a mixture of sugar, water, and starch, which is then heated and poured into molds. The molds are then cooled and the whitos are removed, resulting in a soft, chewy texture. Whitos are often used as a topping for various desserts, such as mochi and ice cream, and are also enjoyed on their own. They are a popular treat during the winter months, particularly in the Tohoku region, where they are often served with hot green tea. Whitos are also known for their ability to melt in the mouth, providing a unique and enjoyable sensory experience.
