Tsugaru Ame

"Tsugaru Ame" is a traditional liquid malt syrup made solely from starch and malt, without using any sugar. It is said to have originated when Tsugaru Nobumasa, the fourth lord of the Tsugaru clan, had the Takeuchi family produce it as a side business for the local people. It has been continuously produced by Kamiboshi Takeuchi Seishajo, founded in 1858 (Ansei 5). Even today, the ninth-generation proprietor maintains the original production method while preserving the storehouse in Aomori City. The thick, glossy, golden syrup possesses a deep yet pure sweetness and has long been cherished as a natural sweetener. In the past, it was also popular as a souvenir for passengers on the Seikan Ferry. With its charming retro tins and jar packaging, it is a traditional taste that Tsugaru is proud of.
