The spirit of the islands
Okinawa, in southern Japan, is known for its subtropical climate and beautiful coral reefs. Okinawa kokuto is made from 100% Okinawan sugarcane, grown under strong island sunlight on land that was once coral reef.
Grown on coral reefs. Okinawa's soil, rich in minerals such as iron and calcium from ancient coral reefs, gives the sugarcane its distinctive quality.
Sun and sea breeze. Bathed in subtropical sunlight and mineral-rich sea breezes, the cane develops a deep, full-bodied sweetness.
Artisanal craft. Produced in the 8 islands of Okinawa, a tradition of purity and flavor passed down through generations.
Unlike refined white sugar
Okinawa kokuto is simply boiled-down sugarcane, so it keeps the minerals found in the cane, such as calcium, iron, and magnesium.
