Sanuki Wasanbon Sugar

Wasanbon Sugar, produced in Kagawa Prefecture using a traditional method, is characterized by its elegant sweetness created by a unique manufacturing process. The refined sweetness is produced by removing the molasses, and the name “wasanbon (means "Combine three-day trays" )” comes from the fact that in the past, the grinding process to remove the molasses was done on a tray (in Japanese "bon") for three (in Japanese "san") days. The history of this product dates back more than 200 years to the Edo period (1603-1867), and even today, the process from harvesting sugarcane, making white sugar, removing molasses, and shaping the product is still carried out by hand using traditional methods, taking time and care. With its melt-in-your-mouth quality and elegant sweetness, it is used not only for confectionery, but also for a wide range of other purposes such as coffee and cooking.
