Itano Wasanbon
Itano Town is known as a production area for Awa Wasanbon sugar. It is a rare, elegantly sweet sugar produced through traditional manual processes using a native sugarcane variety called 'Chikuto.' After boiling down the extracted juice, the white raw sugar is repeatedly washed by hand with water and then dried—a process that requires immense time and effort to complete the Wasanbon. When placed in the mouth, it melts instantly, spreading a soft and refined sweetness. It is a premium domestic sugar indispensable for high-quality Japanese sweets, including dry confectionery used in tea ceremonies. The fine sweetness created by the artisan's craftsmanship is truly the crystallization of tradition. It is Tokushima's pride, nurtured by Itano Town. This elegant sweetness that vanishes on the tongue is truly a treat for adults.
