Wasambonto

Wasambonto is a traditional product, one of the oldest types of domestic sugar. It’s made with a rare type of sugar cane hailing from the Tokushima Prefecture. Due to the unique refining process, wasambonto has a powdery and smooth texture.

The aroma and flavor are delicate and quite different from other, regular types of sugar. Wasambonto is usually used for the preparation of dried sweets in a mold, called higashi.
