Kashuien Morinaga Kuro-okoshi (Black Sugar Rice Crackers)
In the Edo period, precious black sugar was brought to Nagasaki via Dejima. That sweetness still lives on in this famous confection that has continued for over 230 years. 'Kuro-okoshi' has been continuously baked in Isahaya by Kashuien Morinaga, founded in 1793. The origin lies with the first generation, Ryukichi, who devised an okoshi (rice cracker) mixed with black sugar in Isahaya—a post town on the Nagasaki Kaido near Dejima where sugar was easily accessible. At that time, rice was a precious food source. A key feature is our use of raw black sugar, intentionally leaving the granules intact. The deep richness of the black sugar harmonizes simply with the savory texture of domestic rice. It captures the same joy felt by people of the past who ate rice sweets on festival days to celebrate bountiful harvests. Please savor this taste of Isahaya, refined through a long history.
