Ingredients offered

Wasanbon (Premium Refined Sugar)
和三盆糖
2 suppliers
Raw material
Premium fine-grain Japanese sugar produced in Kagawa and Tokushima from take-shōba sugarcane via a labour-intensive 'togi' (kneading) refining process. Wasanbon is regarded as the most-refined granulated sugar in Japan and is the foundation of the highest-tier wagashi confectionery (rakugan, higashi). Output is severely limited — fewer than 10 producers maintain the traditional method, and annual volume measures in tonnes (vs millions for industrial sugar). Per-kg pricing is 30-100× refined white sugar.
