Wasanbon Dry Confectionery

The moment it touches your tongue, it gently dissolves and disappears. A silky smoothness and an elegant, pure sweetness leave a lasting aftertaste. Awa Wasanbon sugar is a domestic sugar produced by artisans with almost no machinery, using sugarcane known as 'Chikutou' grown in Tokushima. The pale yellow particles are extremely fine, and the manual 'togi' process—kneading the sugar while repeatedly adding water—creates that smooth melting sensation. This dry confectionery, made by pressing Wasanbon into molds, is an essential masterpiece for tea ceremonies. The craftsmanship of Awa is condensed into a single small piece. The delicate colors and the beauty of the intricate molds are also a delight to the eyes. It is a premium sweet meant to be savored slowly alongside tea.
