Genkotsu candy provides a rich taste of roasted soybean flour. It blends barley, starch syrup, and light brown sugar for a mild sweetness

This candy has deep roots in Inuyama. The recipe began in 1618 when a castle lord fed it to his soldiers. Takadaya Seika still crafts this historic treat today.

The name genkotsu means fist in Japanese. Each piece is hand-rolled and cut to create an uneven look. The candy starts out firm but slowly softens into a satisfying, chewy treat.

Perfect for

• Enjoying a traditional Japanese treat.
• Having a snack with less sugar.
• People who love nutty, earthy soybean flavors.

Produced by Takadaya Seika, Inuyama, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.
