Wasanbon Dry Confectionery (Sanuki City)
Wasanbon dry confectionery is a delicate Japanese sweet that melts away the moment it touches your tongue. These sweets are made by pressing high-quality domestic Wasanbon sugar—produced in Kagawa and Tokushima—into molds shaped like seasonal flowers and animals. In Sanuki City, beautiful dry confections using local Wasanbon are also crafted. The charm lies in the fine, smooth melting sensation unique to Wasanbon, which artisans finish by hand using 'Chikutou,' a type of slender sugarcane as raw material. The shapes of flowers and leaves born from these molds are like tiny pieces of craftsmanship. It offers an elegant sweetness that can be enjoyed with both the eyes and the palate. When paired with strongly brewed tea, its delicate sweetness stands out even more. It is a staple for tea ceremonies and a highly appreciated item as a gift.
