Anyway...Satoshi recently brought back this sweet from Kochi, which is located in Shikoku.
It is called kanzashi and is made by Hamako. Apparently this sweet was created in 1972 for their Yosakoi festival and is the first one in Japan to be baked in foil.
Kanzashi is actually a decorative hair ornament. You can read more about it here.
On the outside, a picture of a kanzashi is stamped on it. A box of these also comes with a kanzashi lollipop.
Something different but delicious. (Thanks Satoshi!)

With all the stuff that Satoshi has brough back from his work travels and whatnot, you (or him) should have a blog or book of all these different treats to be found in Japan. White bean paste with slight cherry flavor...gnam!!!!
