light broth made of jellied sweet bean paste(Karukan)
A soft, fluffy, white confection specialty of Kagoshima and other parts of Kyushu. It is made by kneading roughly ground yam (yam), sugar, and Uruchi rice powder, adding water, and steaming. There are various theories about its origin, but one of the most popular is that it was invented by Rokubei Yashima, a confectioner from Akashi, who was invited from Edo to study preserved foods by Nariakira Shimazu, the 11th lord of the Satsuma Domain.
