History and Origins

The name comes from making rice from roasted rice, and it's called "medicro." There was a custom to celebrate the child's growth in the neighborhood with a phrase from the Edo period. As a bowl gift or a snack, it's still eaten. "Kiko" comes from the process. I roast rice into flour, so I call it "snap." This is made up of water candy and then cut into sticks what you sleep on. It's a delicate treat that depends on the temperature and humidity of the time, although it's not difficult to use the materials available easily and is not difficult to process. It's a local treat with a fragrance of incense and sweet sweets and softness that are familiar to the community.

When It Is Eaten

They are eaten as food for the trays and as candy here. It's been used for years and is regularly eaten.

How It Is Eaten

We roast rice and rice that match 8:2 or 7:3 and then we grind it with mills, then we grind it into flour, and add sugar, water and salt. If you put sugar and hot water in the flour, it will gradually form a circle that will produce the "Kinjiu" that you hold in your hand. Sometimes I use white sugar and black sugar. When it's hard, you can heat it up and eat it in the oven. The locals sell roast flour to make this pepper.
