amber sweets; crystallized agar jelly candy
A traditional Japanese confection made by coloring and flavoring sweetened agar-agar, then drying it to form a crunchy outer layer and a jelly-like interior. The name comes from its resemblance to amber.
Amber sweets look like jewels and are popular as souvenirs.
My grandmother sent me some homemade amber sweets.
Compound of 琥珀 (こはく, 'amber') and 糖 (とう, 'sugar'), referring to the candy's amber-like appearance.
