Kuzukiri (arrowroot starch noodles) is said to have originated at the Japanese sweets store “Kagizen Yoshifusa” in Gion, Kyoto. Typically eaten with black syrup, it was originally popular as a post-meal sweet and is believed to have spread by word of mouth around the 1960s. The texture is smooth and slippery, making it a refreshing treat. It pairs perfectly with YUCa’s Tea Organic Matcha, especially in the spring and summer.
