Kanzarashi
A specialty you can only taste in Shimabara
Kanzarashi introduction
Kanzarashi (かんざらし) is a simple yet beloved traditional dish from Shimabara. It features small rice flour dumplings, boiled and then chilled in the region's fresh spring water, before being topped with a special syrup made from honey and sugar. The result is a delicate sweetness and a smooth texture that almost melts in your mouth. Shimabara, often called the "City of Water," is famous for its abundant natural springs, and it is this pristine spring water that enhances the flavor of Kanzarashi, making it a truly unique local delight.
