   in reply to

   In the Momoyama period kuzu became a popular ingredient in the foods and sweets prepared for tea ceremony, and as a result its popularity spread.

   A sweet popular in Kansai during the summer months is a cubed confection called 'kuzuyaki' (葛焼).
   Sugar, kuzu powder and bean paste are kneaded into a dough, cut into squares, and steamed. The sweets are finished by grilling each side and sprinkling with flour.
