Crafted using traditional candy-making methods brought to Japan by the Portuguese over 500 years ago, these crunchy confections offer a new way to enjoy nostalgic Japanese flavors. The process begins by boiling a mixture of Hokkaido beet sugar and malt syrup at high temperatures, then infusing it with air. While the mixture is still soft and moldable, it is stretched and layered to create the candy’s unique light and crispy texture. The slight bitterness of the organic matcha from Shizuoka is complemented by the warm, nuttiness of kinako (roasted soybean flour), giving these addictive candies a mild sweetness and distinctly Japanese taste.
