About Kanzarashi (Chilled rice-flour dumplings in syrup)

Small dumplings made from shiratama rice flour are boiled and chilled in Shimabara’s spring water, then served with a special syrup made with honey, sugar, and other ingredients. This simple local specialty is popular for its refined sweetness, which seems to melt in your mouth, and its smooth, easy-to-swallow texture.
Shimabara has many springs and has long been known as the “City of Water.” The local dish is especially delicious when made with this spring water.
