[Brown Sugar-Filled Black Candy – The Original Flavor]
This candy, now a beloved classic, features a generous filling of Okinawan brown sugar powder wrapped in rich black candy.
We use only the finest brown sugar from Ie Island in Okinawa, renowned for its quality.
As you slowly enjoy the candy, the natural sweetness and umami of the brown sugar gently melt into your mouth, soothing both a tired body and a dry throat.
This long-standing favorite is a signature product of Nisshin Seika, cherished by customers for generations.
We invite you to experience the authentic flavor of the original kuro-ame.
[Premium Ingredient – Brown Sugar from Ie Island, Okinawa]
Okinawan brown sugar is produced on eight islands, each offering a unique flavor profile.
Among them, Nisshin Seika has carefully selected brown sugar from Ie Island, known for its subtly salty notes, smooth texture, and refreshing, not overly sweet taste.
Our Nama Kuro Ame ("Raw Black Candy") showcases the natural characteristics of this premium ingredient, making it one of our proudest creations.
[With Added Calcium]
To support everyday wellness, we’ve enriched this candy with calcium — a nutrient often lacking in Japanese diets across all age groups.
Why not enjoy something delicious and beneficial at the same time?
We've retained the traditional flavor while giving it a modern, health-conscious twist.
[Time-Honored Craftsmanship]
At Nisshin Seika, we stay true to tradition with our open-kettle, direct-heat cooking method.
By simmering the candy slowly over time, we draw out a deep, rich flavor and aromatic finish.
To achieve the ideal melt-in-your-mouth texture, our skilled artisans hand-knead the cooked candy and carefully wrap it around the brown sugar filling.
While this process isn’t suited for mass production, we believe the extra care is worth it — because quality matters.
