Amakusa

Take a smooth, single bite of translucent tokoroten. Its refreshing sensation as it glides down your throat is a delightful treat, especially during the hot season. The raw material used is 'Amakusa,' a type of seaweed harvested from the seas of Izu. The warm seawater carried by the Kuroshio Current and the intricate rocky reefs nurture high-quality Amakusa. Izu has long been known as a major production area for Amakusa; when boiled and solidified, it becomes tokoroten, and when further frozen and dried, it becomes kanten. Two distinct Japanese flavors are born from this single seaweed. With sanbaizu (vinegar sauce), with black syrup—ways of eating vary by region. Please enjoy the cool, refreshing taste of Izu, brought to you by the blessings of the sea.
