Okinawa Brown Sugar (kokutō) from Hateruma Island is traditionally made by slowly boiling fresh sugarcane juice without refining or additives.

Rich in natural minerals, it has a deep caramel flavour with earthy notes and a gentle savoury complexity that sets it apart from standard brown sugar. The warm, rounded sweetness enhances both sweet and savoury cooking.

Use in baking, desserts, coffee or tea, or to add depth to braises, sauces and glazes.

Produced by Murakami Syouten using traditional methods.

Not just sweet. Depth, mineral richness and real flavour, that brings depth, warmth and balance to everyday cooking.
