[Dim sum sweets]
When Zen was introduced in the Kamakura period, the customs of drinking tea and dim sum spread along with it. Dim sum is a snack eaten between meals, and in the early Muromachi period, such items as suisen, unzou, and soukei, as well as sweet bean paste such as betkan, chiyokan, and yokan, noodles such as udon and somen, and buns and mochi are listed as dim sum items. Suisen was made by heating and solidifying kudzu starch dissolved in water and slicing it into thin strips, which corresponds to modern-day kuzukiri, while onkasu was rice porridge made with miso and sake lees, and kasutori was konnyaku (a type of jelly made from jelly) boiled in a thin miso soup. In any case, these and other noodles, as well as yokan (a type of bean paste) and manju (a type of bun), were used as dim sum.
