Assorted Ariheitō Candies

These exquisite Japanese sweets from Tokyo have been enjoyed by people for over 200 years. A combination of a hard, crunchy texture and rich sweetness, these sweets carry a delicate aroma of caramel. Every batch is created using carefully selected ingredients such as high-purity granulated sugar and authentic mizuame (malt syrup) sourced exclusively from Japanese sweet potatoes. The special quality of ariheitō sweets lies in the meticulous process of condensing the ingredients in copper pots, where precision becomes paramount. A minute too long in the pot and the produce will be infused with an overpowering caramel flavour. An example of attention to detail, the result of this process is a harmonious balance between the nuanced flavours of the sweet and its captivating caramel aroma.
