About this item

Botan Rice Candy is a traditional Japanese candy that has gained popularity both in Japan and internationally. It is known for its distinctive packaging and unique characteristics. Botan Rice Candy is produced by the company Fueki Confectionery in Japan. The candy itself is a small, rectangular piece with a soft and chewy texture. It is made from glutinous rice and flavored with a hint of lemon or orange. What makes Botan Rice Candy particularly memorable is its edible rice paper wrapper, which dissolves in the mouth. The wrapper is printed with Japanese kanji characters and often features a picture of a peony flower, known as "botan" in Japanese, which inspired the candy's name.
