What is Wasanbon?

Wasanbon is Japanese traditional sugar. Wasanbon sugar is a specialty of Kagawa and Tokushima prefectures, and is made from Chikuto, a variety of sugarcane, using a special process.

Unlike ordinary sugar, Wasanbon is fine-grained, which makes it easy to melt in the mouth, and has a mild sweetness and elegant aroma. It is a high quality sugar and recommended to use for baking and cooking as well.

Higashi is a traditional Japanese confectionery made by pressing this high quality Wasanbon into various molds.

Here are some Higashi made with cute molds that will make you excited when you open the box and enjoy eating them.
