What is Konpeito?
Konpeitō are sugar candy, which come in a variety of colors and flavors. Konpeitō is usually 5 to 10 mm in diameter and is produced by repeatedly coating a sugar syrup over a core consisting of a grain of coarse sugar. Originally, the core was a poppy seed. Each grain of the core sugar grows over the course of several days with the continued rotating, heating, and application of syrup, becoming a ball covered with tiny bulges. It usually takes 7–13 days to make konpeitō , and they are crafted by artisans even today.
