Kurume Kurobo

'Kurobo' is a simple baked sweet made by kneading flour, brown sugar, and eggs, baking them into rod shapes, and coating them generously in brown sugar syrup. It is a confection that has been enjoyed since ancient times in the Chikugo region, particularly around Kurume. Kyushu has originally been a land where wheat production and sugarcane cultivation/brown sugar making were prosperous. It is believed that Kurobo was born as a snack for farmers within this rich environment. Since its founding in 1910 (Taisho 9), Kurume Kurobo Honpo has maintained its commitment to the essential process of hand-coating each piece with syrup. The toasted dough carries the deep, rich sweetness unique to brown sugar. With one bite, a nostalgic and comforting taste of Kyushu spreads throughout your mouth.
