About Kuzumochi (A chilled, chewy Japanese sweet)

Kanto’s kuzumochi (久寿餅) is said to use these substitute characters to distinguish it from Kansai’s kuzumochi (葛餅). The Kanto-style version is made by dissolving kudzu starch in water and adding sugar. It is cooked and stirred until translucent, poured into a container, covered with plastic wrap, and cooled under running water or in ice water before being cut into pieces. It is often served with kinako soybean powder and kuromitsu brown sugar syrup. It is said to be the only fermented food among Japanese confectionery.
