Kokuto (lit. “black sugar”) is a regional black sugar from Okinawa, Japan’s southernmost tropical islands. Different from regular sugar, kokuto is made from 100% local sugarcane which is pressed to squeeze out its sweet, raw juice. It has a rich licorice flavor with hints of caramel and toffee and is considered a healthier alternative to regular sugar. Here the licorice flavors of kokuto are combined with the toasted, nutty flavors of black sesame seeds to create a mildly sweet jam with a hint of spice.
