Kohakuto - Japanese Edible Crystals - Wagashi

A wonderful traditional Japanese candy that's easy to make at home (you'll need time on your side, though!!). These make amazing gifts or special treats. Good cake decorations and they're amazing for making ASMR videos. 🤣 You can make them any color and flavor you prefer and can get your hands on. You can even make them with pasteurized juices!* Use food coloring with a tiny fork, any flavored sugar, flavorings or whatever you like. Only if it can spoil in a week, it can spoil your candy. Note: if you have more or less agar (7gr is standard in my country) you can adjust the serving size accordingly! I hope you'll love making these! The best thing about them: they're vegan and keep for at least a month if stored dry and cool. *(The acidity of the liquid used will impact the gelling ability of the agar. A more acidic liquid will require more agar powder to set. Agar breaks down and doesn’t set if exposed to the enzymes of certain raw tropical fruits such as: kiwifruit, papayas, pineapple, peaches, mangoes, guavas, and figs. These fruits contain an enzyme (bromelin) that can prevent agar from setting. If you are using these fruits, heat them before adding agar to break down the enzyme and allow the recipe to set successfully.)
