Gyosen Ame
This is a traditional candy from Miki Town, carefully passed down through nine generations by Mihara Ame-ten, an established shop founded in Meiji 5 (1872). It is an additive-free malt syrup made solely from glutinous rice, malt, and water. Legend has it that the production method originated about 300 years ago when an ashigaru (foot soldier) of the Marugame Clan learned the technique in Awa Province and brought it back. From preparation to bottling, every step is performed using traditional manual methods. The women who supported the household have cherished and protected this flavor from mother-in-law to daughter-in-law for generations. Without using any sugar at all, its hallmark is the gentle, deep sweetness produced by the malt. It is a profoundly delicious Sanuki confection, filled with long history and steady craftsmanship.
