Konpeito is a type of Japanese confectionery shaped like stars. It is made by dissolving rock sugar in water, boiling it down, then adding wheat flour to create colorful candies. Because the production process is quite complex, in ancient times it was an exclusive treat only nobles could enjoy. Today, it has become one of Japan’s iconic traditional wagashi (Japanese sweets).
