Wasanbon
For making Japanese dry confectionery Higashi typically is used a special Japanese sugar Wasanbon.
This fine-grained Japanese sugar, traditionally made from special sort of thin sugarcane called “taketō ” or “chikusha”, cultivated in Tokushima and Kagawa of Shikoku island. This expensive sugar sweet with a delicate flavor has been made in Japan for over 200 years.
