A single konpeito is made from a single grain of sugar.
Sugar is placed in a large kiln heated to about 100 degrees Celsius, and while tilting the kiln, it is slowly rotated, rolling the sugar grains.
Molten sugar (syrup) is evenly sprayed onto each sugar grain as it rolls in the kiln, and it is carefully mixed so that the grains do not stick together.
As the sugar grains, moistened with syrup, are rolled on the surface of the heated pan, a significant change occurs in how the syrup solidifies. The solidified parts bulge slightly, and these grow into the "horns" of the konpeito.
This process is continued for 14 days without a single day's rest, allowing the konpeito to gradually grow larger.
By continuing this diligent work, konpeito with a sweet and nostalgic taste, just like in the old days, is created.
These small konpeito have a pleasant sweetness and are perfect for enjoying a few pieces with tea, offering a comforting taste.
The beautiful packaging makes them a delightful choice not only for personal enjoyment but also as gifts, souvenirs, or presents.
