Isahaya Okoshi
Crunchy and crumbly. The moment you bite into it, a savory aroma and gentle sweetness spread. It is so delicious that it's hard to believe it is made only with rice and sugar. Isahaya Okoshi is a traditional sweet from Isahaya, a post town on the Nagasaki Kaido. It was born from the meeting of high-quality rice harvested in this region, known for its rice production, and sugar brought in through Dejima. The traditional 'Kuro-okoshi' (black okoshi) is made by roasting steamed and dried rice, then hardening it with brown sugar and starch syrup. The deliciousness of the ingredients is packed tightly inside. Along with the story of the 'Sugar Road' that brought sugar culture to the region, it was certified as a Japan Heritage site in 2020. It is a fragrant treat perfect for accompanying tea.
