Known for its complex flavor profile, this sugar is produced through sustainable practices by a small community, making it a perfect choice for those who value quality and ethical sourcing. Ideal for enhancing beverages and recipes, it offers a unique alternative to refined sugars. ## Description Okinawa Kokuto is an unrefined whole cane sugar. It’s made by reducing fresh, hand-cut sugar cane sap into a rich syrup. Traditionally this syrup is then either pressed to form blocks, or stirred to form a powder with a deep, complex flavor that varies depending on the island it was grown on. The Okinawa Prefecture, south of the southernmost main Japanese island of Kyushu, consists of over 160 islands, only 48 of which are inhabited. Seven of these islands make their own version of this sugar. The sugar in this bag comes from the Hateruma Island, a small island of just 500 people, most of whom work to produce this sugar. It’s considered the highest quality of all the kokuto sugars produced in the Okinawa Prefecture. Unlike normal refined sugars (including those marketed as "raw"), our Kokuto sugar never goes through the extensive series of refining steps that turns cane juice into the crystallized sugar you see on the shelves at the supermarket. The result? A vastly more flavorful and nuanced sugar that has all kinds of culinary applications. Because it is a natural product, there may be slight variations in the color, granule size, and even in the flavor of the sugar - depending on the season when it was made. ## Features - Sourced from Murakami Syouten and grown on Hateruma Island. Of the eight islands in the Okinawa archipelago that produce unrefined sugar, this sugar from Hateruma is considered the most prized. - Incredibly complex flavor, derived from the unique growing conditions. The subtropical climate's influence on the coral island, combined with generations of experience, produces a sugar with salty, mineral notes and a unique savory quality. - Support building direct-trade supply routes with small-scale sugar farms. Produced on an island that is only five square miles and inhabited by around 600 people - many of whom work to create this sugar. - Add to your coffee or tea - can replace refined sugar 1:1 in almost any recipe, especially where you want to add depth to the flavor. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07GXZVH2Q | | Best Sellers Rank | #274,517 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #359 in White Granulated Sugar | | Brand | Origin Sugar Company | | Brand Name | Origin Sugar Company | | Coin Variety 1 | Cane Sugar | | Color | black | | Container Type | Bag | | Cuisine | Japanese cuisine | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 81 Reviews | | Diet Type | Plant Based | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00780509745267 | | Item Form | Crystal | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Package Weight | 0.53 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 500 Grams | | Manufacturer | Origin Sugar Company | | Model Number | J500 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package Information | Bag | | Part Number | J500 | | Size | 17.64 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Whole | | UPC | 780509745267 | | Unit Count | 17.64 Ounce | ## Images ![Origin Sugar Company - Raw, Unrefined Japanese "Kokuto" Black Sugar from Hateruma Island - Whole Cane Sugar (500 grams) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SkzLaksVL.jpg) ![Origin Sugar Company - Raw, Unrefined Japanese "Kokuto" Black Sugar from Hateruma Island - Whole Cane Sugar (500 grams) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61S19sCpmoL.jpg) ![Origin Sugar Company - Raw, Unrefined Japanese "Kokuto" Black Sugar from Hateruma Island - Whole Cane Sugar (500 grams) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51uaVHKXEUL.jpg) ![Origin Sugar Company - Raw, Unrefined Japanese "Kokuto" Black Sugar from Hateruma Island - Whole Cane Sugar (500 grams) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71cPOyqPHcL.jpg) ![Origin Sugar Company - Raw, Unrefined Japanese "Kokuto" Black Sugar from Hateruma Island - Whole Cane Sugar (500 grams) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71X9vrui+WL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can you clarify the source of this sugar ? it says it’s packaged in the usa** A: I believe the sugar is imported and repackaged, it is very good has a deep molasses flavor.
