Seasonal Wasanbon Sweets

Wasanbon is a traditional Japanese sweets, made with Japanese sugarcane, produced in Kagawa. Unlike mass-produced white sugar, Wasanbon undergoes an intricate refining process involving repeated kneading and washing to remove impurities. This labour-intensive method results in a uniquely fine texture and a delicate sweetness that is highly prized in Japanese confectionery.

It is a staple in tea ceremonies, where its subtle sweetness balances the bitterness of matcha. Beyond traditional uses, Wasanbon is paired with beverages like coffee, tea, and cocktails, adding a refined, mellow sweetness.

Its flavour is mild and complex, and it melts effortlessly on the tongue, enhancing the overall tasting experience. 

Choose between four beautifully designed options:

• The elegant winter landscape collection, adorned with emblems of the white hare and decorated with a snowy landscape on its paper box.
• The Fuji scenery collection represents Hyakkei- Japan’s 100 views of fuji boxed with a special centered wasanbon etched with Mount Fuji on it with the cool blue tones covering the box. 

• Autumn Plum blossom set includes a collection of season flowers for the colder months.  Adorned in seasonal and festive packaging. 

• Children's festival honours Japan’s Children’s Day (5th May), featuring koi-nobori (koi fish streamers) symbols. The koi fish represent strength and perseverance, embodying hopes for children’s bright futures. 

Ingredients: Sugar cane, Colouring

Each design comes with its own wooden and colourful box
