Harano Seicha: Yame Matcha Konpeito Candy 大人の金平糖 抹茶

Konpeitō is a traditional Japanese sugar confection with over 400 years of history. These small, charming candies are made from the simplest of ingredients—just sugar. The unique shape, with its distinctive bumps and spikes, is created through a meticulous process where sugar is slowly rotated in a heated drum while syrup is gradually added. This artisanal technique requires expert intuition and years of experience.

To elevate this classic treat into something more refined, Harano Seicha coated it with matcha and hojicha powder, using premium green teas from Yame, a renowned tea-producing region in Japan. The result is a delightful transformation: the sweet, nostalgic konpeitō now carries the subtle bitterness and roasted notes of Japanese tea, creating a sophisticated flavor profile.

Perfect as a luxurious wagashi (Japanese confectionery), this konpeitō makes an elegant and thoughtful gift.
