Wasanbon of Higashikagawa
When you place a single piece in your mouth, it crumbles delicately, and an elegant sweetness melts away instantly. All that remains is a faint aroma. The dry confectionery (higashi) made from Wasanbon possesses an indescribable, 'fleeting melt-in-the-mouth' quality. Wasanbon is a traditional sugar produced only in Kagawa and Tokushima. In particular, Hiketa in Higashikagawa City has been a famous production area since the Edo period. Through a manual process called 'togi,' where boiled white sugar is kneaded with water on a tray, the particles are made fine and smooth. Sugar is counted as one of the 'Sanuki Sanpaku' (the three whites of Sanuki) and is a treasure of Kagawa. This high-quality sweetness is crafted into adorable dry sweets shaped like flowers and nuts. A gentle sweetness that vanishes softly in your mouth. Please enjoy a single piece alongside your tea.
