Satsuma no Kuro-mushi Hachitaro

A steamed confection truly characteristic of Satsuma, capturing the full richness of brown sugar. Kagoshima has a very deep connection with brown sugar; because the Satsuma Domain ruled Ryukyu during the Edo period and was responsible for sugarcane cultivation and brown sugar production, a rich culture of brown sugar confectionery took root in this region. 'Satsuma no Kuro-mushi Hachitaro' is a steamed cake where the rich sweetness of brown sugar is generously kneaded into a fluffy, steamed batter. The deep sweetness and mineral notes unique to brown sugar melt gently into the moist texture of the cake. While not flashy, it possesses a nostalgic flavor that keeps you reaching for more. It is a simple and warm confection nurtured by the climate of Satsuma.
