Anmitsu is probably the most complicated traditional Japanese sweet: it comprises cubes of a jelly made from algae served with balls of anko red bean paste, fruit (sliced or whole), mochi shaped as balls (called dango dumplings), and often ice cream. It also comes with a black sweet syrup that you can pour over it. The syrup is called mitsu and this is where the name comes from. If all this is hard to remember, the Kameyama Cream Anmitsu Candle is a good reminder – and an original gift for you or your friends who share your love for Japanese confectionery!
At 58 x 52 mm (2.3 x 2"), the Kameyama Cream Anmitsu Candle could almost be an actual cup filled with delicious anmitsu with all the trimmings: cherry, mikan orange, anko beans, mochi, and even a scoop of ice cream to justify the "cream" part of the name. Put together with the craftsmanship of one of Japan's most famous candle makers, Osaka-based Kameyama, this unique candle has a sweet scent and also serves as ornament or an essential part of any collection of unusual Japanese items.
