Kachiwari Kokuto Japanese Brown Sugar

300 gram bag – Japan

These varying in size chunks of sugar are interesting in taste. Take a chunk and bite into it and as the sugar combination dissolves you are not overwhelmed with sweetness. Instead you are aware of the rich brown sugar and the molasses on your senses. The edge of the tongue will continue to tell you, remind you of the molasses and the overall feel will be of the muscovado.

It is an interesting sugar. Does at add sweetness to a cup of coffee? Not really, but it does seem to mellow the edge of bitterness coffee beans sometimes have.

This sugar seems to be more as a finish or a standalone treat than an ingredient to be added to your next cake.

ingredients: brown sugar, molasses, muscovado sugar
