Firm jelly inside, crunchy shell outside. Kohakutou is a traditional Japanese confection (Wagashi).
You just need only 4 ingredients! You can use your favorite colors to make your own favorite gemstones. Easy yet Fun! It is one of summer vacation free research project ideas in Japan 💎
It takes about a week to dry to create the crunchy shell. At this point, the sweetness becomes very mild and delicious 😋
You can use fruit juice if you want to make it in a different flavor! Have fun 👍
