[Food of Japan Season 2]
Koshinoyuki is one of the three best sweets in Japan made of fine sugar and rice flour. Created in the Edo period in Nagaoka City, Niigata Prefecture, it spread across Japan. Shinsaku Takasugi, a famous samurai, was said to have scattered this sweet over a bonsai pine tree next to his deathbed so he could enjoy the view of snow that year. Delicate as a snowflake, Koshinoyuki melts in the mouth with sophisticated sweetness. This documentary focuses on how these delicate sweets are made, following a tradition of 230 years.
