In terms of aroma and flavor, I have the impression that the best tasting is the brown sugar powder and block from Hateruma Island, while the rich flavor with a slight bitterness is from Iriomote Island black sugar blocks.
Previously, I only handled powdered black sugar, but due to requests from customers who wanted to eat black sugar in block form, I decided to also handle blocks. Many people say that eating black sugar blocks is more delicious and safer than sweets with many dairy products and additives.
■Neighboring Hateruma and Iriomote
The aroma and flavor of black sugar are greatly influenced by sunlight, latitude, seasons, rain, sea breeze, soil, ocean currents, and manufacturing techniques. The northern limit from tropical regions is approximately Amami. After trying black sugars from various regions, I believe that the black sugars from neighboring Hateruma and Iriomote are the most delicious.
The southernmost island of the Nansei Islands is Hateruma, followed by Iriomote, and the westernmost island of Japan is Yonaguni. It seems that the black sugar regions ranked second and third are Iriomote and Hateruma, respectively. It is also said that Hateruma and Iriomote are the highest-rated in the market.
■Eating the block as is
The black sugar block from Iriomote is shaped into easy-to-eat squares, while the shape of Hateruma's blocks varies, but they are generally smaller than those found in typical stores. Looking at black sugar sold in supermarkets, about half are powdered and half are blocks, and there is a strong impression that many people bite and eat black sugar.
Trying the idea of biting into black sugar, the blocks from Hateruma and Iriomote have a discovery-like deliciousness, with a flavor and aroma that are convincing compared to black sugars from other regions.
