I wonder if foreigners like the texture of kudzu-mochi.
KUZUMOCHI is a simple Japanese confectionery that has been eaten in Tokyo for centuries, and we have turned it into a “delicious and cute” Japanese sweet that can be enjoyed by everyone from children to the elderly. (From the homepage)
Tango has long been a village of textiles, and Tango Chirimen, a silk fabric originated in the Edo period (1603-1867), is supple and dyeable, and has supported Japan’s kimono culture as a representative fabric for yuzen-dyed and other kimono.
The area is still the largest silk weaving center in Japan, producing approximately 60% of the fabric used to make kimonos.
