Ako Salt Sweets

These are a diverse range of sweets that make use of salt, produced in Ako, the home of Japan's heritage 'Japan's Premier Salt.' You can enjoy flavors unique to this region, where the salt sharply enhances the sweetness. In Ako, the tradition of salt-flavored manju, originally created by Ganso Harimaya in 1853 (Kaei 6), continues to live on today. Following this lineage, various salt sweets incorporating Western techniques have been born one after another, such as salt caramel, salt chocolate, salt madeleines, and Mont Blanc parfaits with a hint of salt. A pinch of salt within the sweetness. That contrast creates an unforgettable aftertaste, making it a flavor that Ako is truly proud of.
