Neri-kiri is a very formal sweet that is also called the main confectionery, and is mainly eaten with matcha during tea ceremonies. The ingredients are simple:glutinous rice flour, sugar, and white bean paste (white kidney beans). It is a healthy food because it does not contain animal fat. The colors are made with natural colored powders, so even children can eat them safety.
