Isahaya Okoshi (Sugitani Honpo)
A traditional famous sweet passed down in Isahaya, a post town on the Nagasaki Kaido 'Sugar Road.' The producer, Sugitani Honpo, is a long-established shop founded in 1811 (Bunka 8). As sugar transported from Nagasaki spread confectionery culture along the highway, 'Okoshi'—made by hardening grains with starch syrup—became a specialty in the rice-producing region of Isahaya. Okoshi is also popular as an auspicious sweet, as its name relates to 'prospering one's self, name, and family.' The Isahaya Okoshi and its production tools have been recognized as part of the Japan Heritage 'Sugar Road.' It is a precious taste that conveys the history of the highway to the present. With a crispy, light texture and the simple sweetness of brown sugar and starch syrup, this is the taste of Isahaya, where over 200 years of history live on.
