INSIDE YOUR SAKURACO BOX

Candy

Japan has a long (and delicious) history with crafting candy. Perhaps the most iconic is Konpeito. Konpeito is Japanese sugar candy, made in the shape of small stars with a wide range of vibrant colors. Alongside simple hard candies and gummies, konpeito proves to be one of the most addictive candies for both children and adults alike thanks to its gentle sweetness.

TRIVIA

Where does konpeito originally come from?

Kintaro Candy

These hard candies are meticulously crafted from layers of colored sheets of candies. The candy sheets are intricately layered together and then cut to reveal the face of Kintaro, a hero from a Japanese folk tale. Due to their popularity, there are different types of pop culture characters and icons that can be found on Kintaro candy today, including cartoon characters, flowers, and fruits.

Konpeito

Konpeito is a small, delightful Japanese sugar candy. First introduced in the Kyushu region of Japan from Portugal, these candies have become synonymous with cute decorations to accompany Hinamatsuri Dolls during the Doll’s Festival in March. Unlike typical hard candies, Konpeito offers a delicate crunch that melts in your mouth. Its vibrant colors include white, pink, yellow, and green are complimented by their subtle flavors.

Japanese Gummy Candy

Gummy candy was first introduced to Japan in 1980 from Germany. Since then, gummy candies in Japan have been produced to meet Japanese tastes and are often compared to their real fruit counterparts for their near-natural flavors, aroma, and coloring. Gummy candies are as popular among adults as children, with various types created to help improve concentration and reduce stress.
