Hateruma Island Crushed Brown Sugar (Kokutou)

This Japanese crushed brown sugar (kokutou) is an artisanal Okinawan unrefined sugar made from 100% Hateruma Island sugarcane, slowly simmered to preserve its deep, natural molasses flavor. Rich, earthy, and complex, it offers a balanced sweetness and a subtle bitterness that sets it apart from standard brown sugar.

Perfect for traditional Japanese confections, glazes, braised dishes, or as a nuanced sweetener in baking and cocktails, this crushed kokutou brings depth and character to any recipe.
