Sugar is known to be made from sugar cane, but Tensai-sugar is made from a vegetable called "Tensai". Most of the sugar available in Japan is made from Australian sugar cane.
Yuzu-Rikko is particular about using domestic sugar and came up with Tensai-sugar from Hokkaido.
This sugar is made from Tensai, a plant found in cold regions of Japan, and is known for its ability to warm the body.
Tensai rock ice sugar
The above granulated sugar is extracted from Hokkaido's "Tensai", refined, and crushed once more, then slowly crystallized naturally over a period of two weeks.
It is called "rock ice sugar" because it is as big as a rock.
Its purity is 99.8%, making it the purest of all.
When combined with Yuzu, it creates a wonderful harmony. The largest one is 7 cm in length and diameter. We crush them and use.
