MARUTA Konpeito Japanese Sugar Candy a set of 50 bags by Kasugai

Product Information

To produce this snack, the sugar lumps are heated slowly in a large inclined rotating pot called “dora” and by applying the syrup drop by drop, it eventually turns to a ball with a number of horny prongs. Slight differences in color and shape may occur compared to the pictures shown. Konpeito candy has a crunchy texture which makes a distinctive sound every time you chew it. While konpeito is a sweet candy, this particular flavor has the light refreshing taste of Japanese peaches, with real Japanese white peach juice powder being used in the production process. They carefully choose when to apply each layer of liquid sugar, how much to apply, how fast to rotate the dora pot, and at what temperature. Despite konpeito is renowned for its horny bulges, the reasons for their formulation have not theoretically proven yet. Each illustration is thoughtfully produced with love and care in the hope you will adore it. Konpeito is a tiny sugar lump candy that is repeatedly coated with a sugar-based syrup.
