My thoughts on eating amazake candy

When I opened the large bag, I found individually wrapped, clear-packaged amazake candies inside.

There are a total of 26 individually wrapped candies.

When I opened the individual wrapper, there was a single milky-white candy inside.

When I looked closely at the milky-white amazake candy, I could see tiny yellowish specks. I wondered if they were bits of sake lees mixed into the candy.

These amazake candies are so delicious—as soon as I take a bite, the gentle aroma of sake lees, a subtle hint of their flavor, and a mild sweetness spread throughout my mouth.

I savored the gentle flavor of this amazake, which was carefully simmered in small batches over time in a traditional earthenware pot by skilled artisans.
