Tarama Island Block Brown Sugar (Bukkaki) [多良間島のぶっかき黒糖] 200g
Did you know that Tarama Island is the largest producer of kokuto in Japan? Tarama sits between Miyako and Ishigaki, a low island built from a raised coral reef, where a warm subtropical climate leaves almost the whole island under sugarcane. Tarama alone makes about 40 percent of all the kokuto in Okinawa.
This is that same Tarama kokuto, broken by hand into rough pieces rather than sold as a solid block. Bukkaki means coarsely chopped. Enjoy a piece as it is with a cup of tea, or drop it straight into a pot when you cook or bake.
