What is this?
(Usahime)
Fluffy, like a cloud.
This is a confectionery called cotton candy.
Pomelo sugar (pomelo), a type of sugar, is made into a liquid, exposed to air by centrifugal force, cooled, and then thinned back to a string-like shape and rolled up with a stick.
Certainly, in the Edo period, when Sarudono and Usahime were there, cotton candy was not yet available in Japan.
(SARUDONO)
When did cotton candy first appear in Japan?
Yes.
Cotton candy was first made in the U.S., and spread to Japan in the late Meiji to Taisho periods.
(SARUDONO)
Oh.
From the U.S.?
Yes.
John C. Wharton, an American candy manufacturer, and William Morrison, a dentist and inventor, created the world’s first electric cotton candy machine.
Later, cotton candy brought from the U.S. became very popular in Japan, and cotton candy machines quickly spread throughout the country.
(SARUDONO)
I see.
So, are these blue and yellow ones the same cotton candy?
Yes.
Cotton candy that is colored is colored by the flakes before it becomes a liquid.
(Usahime)
Beautiful!
I want to see the real thing!
So, from this coming July 1, you can enjoy sweets with cotton candy on top at the Cross Hotel Kyoto in Kyoto!
(Usahime)
What kind of sweets?
Yes.
The name is “Melon Shiriririfuri Frozen Parfait with Cotton Candy and Rumney”.
Melon frozen ice cream in a cool jellyfish-shaped glass is topped with cotton candy.
Pour some rumune into it, and you’ll be amazed!
Cotton candy will burst into pieces, melt, and transform into frozen fruit punch!
(SARUDONO)
So playful ♪
Yes.
We also have original jellyfish wind chimes and colorful small jellyfish wind chimes inside the store, so you can visually cool off as well…
(Usahime)
It’s hot every day!
