For example, add a little water to the sugar and warm it up. After a while, when the sugar has turned a little color, it is poured onto a large, flat, oiled board. This is bekko-ame. Bekkoame is often seen at fairs and other events. It is sold in a variety of complicated shapes, but it is very easy to make.
Before the candy becomes sticky candy, stop heating it and let it cool down a little. Then, with hands wearing rubber gloves, pull and fold over, and pull and fold over. Repeat this process many times, and you will end up with a shiny "kinu-ame" that looks like a twisted silk thread.
The last step is to make caramel. To make caramel, add condensed milk, butter, and syrup to sugar, and continue to mix until a slightly colored caramel is obtained. When it has reached a caramel-like color and consistency, pour it into an oiled silver bowl, and cut it into small pieces when it has become solid.
In any case, the basic ingredient for making candy is sugar. Sugar is heated and hardened to form candy.
