Craftsmanship

I got the gift.  It's a very stylish box.

 “What will come out?”I opened while imagining the contents.

 “Cocoons? Silkworms? Insects?”I shrank involuntarily.

 That's Kuzuyu (kudzu starch gruel)!!!

I put a cocoon in a teacup and dissolved it with hot water.

The completion.  It is like the jelly which is sweet and warm.  The body warms.  It is one of the pleasure of winter. 


Anyway, I was surprised at cocoons.  A thing made in Japan is not only food and is made to be sometimes surprised to be too elaborate.
