What is Wasambon?
Wasambon is a rare, fine-grained sugar from Tokushima and Kagawa in Japan, artisan-crafted for over 200 years. Made using traditional techniques passed down through generations, its delicate sweetness and smooth texture make it a prized ingredient in wagashi—elegant confections served in Japanese tea ceremonies to perfectly complement matcha.
