Kana is over for a visit! They are having ice tea and pleasent conversation- but what are they eating?
Hmm... it looks like...
Stars!
No, not stars?
Oh!
Konpeito :)
Konpeito is a tradition Japanese sweet. It has been around since the 1500 century when trade between Japan and other countries began. These small star like formations are all sugar and a smaller version of Western rock candy. If you spilled your konpeito it must look like shooting stars landing on earth, blasting out into all directions!
Westerner's were introduced to konpeito in the movie spirited away. The konpeito were fed to the small dust bunny like spirits who brought coal to the furnice keeper.
Good work guys :)!
Oh, Laura : <> konpeito is not for hamsters!
That's better :3
