Otsumami: Assorted konpeitō (4 types)
This set of four pieces of delicious Kyoto konpeitō candy is a fun gift that is also delightful
to receive. The konpeitō comes in little, adorable hand-printed stencil-dyed boxes that are perfect for
conveying your well wishes.
The design of each box is individually printed using Kyoto’s traditional stencil-dyeing method,
which makes the empty washi-paper boxes that are small and adorable perfect for storing accessories
after enjoying the candy inside.
Do you know what konpeitō is? You may remember that konpeitō is the staple food of the traveling
soot in Spirited Away.
Crafted mainly from sugar, this handmade snack actually takes a long time to make individually (more
than 2 weeks!). In fact, it takes 20 years of training for craftsmen to learn how to make it by
hand.
