## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you clarify the source of this sugar ? it says it’s packaged in the usa**
A: I believe the sugar is imported and repackaged, it is very good has a deep molasses flavor. If you don’t feel comfortable about the source you shouldn’t buy anything. There are other brands straight from Japan.

**Q: Is there an expiration date? I see a number 200926, is that the production day or exp date? thx**
A: The sugar is good for at least a year after purchase, the number you’re referring to is just our batch number system for tracking purposes.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The real deal.
*by O***L on March 20, 2025*

Delicious and strongly mineral. You can smell it when you open the bag. Mostly granular but with a few lumps, but I like to think of them as pre-formed sweets for me. Put about 1/4 this and 3/4 Western brown sugar in a brown sugar syrup recipe for perfect boba syrup. It is pricey for sugar, one may think, but a little goes a long way.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is what brown sugar is about!
*by C***M on January 30, 2021*

I didn't know what brown sugar was until trying this. The stuff I have been using all my life is just a bag of sugar with molasses! Literally! I did multiple taste tests with son and husband involved. I had traditional brown and several taiwan black/brown sugars I got from the local Asian markets. 5 different sugars or 7 if I add the two I already have. We all agreed this one has more organic molasses flavor, depth, character.. whatever you want to call it. We got good at identifying which ones were white sugar and molasses mixed without reading the back. One of the Taiwan sugars did impress and I will keep that one for the dishes that I want brown sugar for instead of using this highly prized and expensive (I might add) one on everything.I used this one to make Boba. Though it sort of boils out in the pot so it really helps when used as the syrup. Now we use it in tea and gosh...Earl Grey steeped with some of this added then I let it sit for another minute or two for the flavor to blend...I think this will make any old Earl Grey better. Ginger tea and lemon too! Since we use it sparingly I haven't made other things but I already know it will make anything better.We even enjoy nibbling at it straight...we tried that with the others and it's not the same... others are like eating a spoonful of sugar ( what did I expect!)I even compared to Muscovado (mscv) sugar (yeah I brought everything!) and they are definitely different tastes. Depending on what you are doing mscv could work better because it has a slight bitter (like coffee can have) edge. Muscovado has a stronger personality that I found was more pronounced in the boba after boiling it. It was just as good but different. I'm sure I will find good use for mscv like cookies or brownies would work well...it's not as smooth in it's molasses taste as this japanese sugar. But it is cheaper...In conclusion I am sold on this for my brown sugar needs where I want the sugar to shine ( syrups, tea, sprinkled on some thing...I don't know what yet). If a recipe calls for a tablespoon or so I might use it to try it out because this really changes things. But if a cupful will get buried in the recipe I will use my substitute. Enjoy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazingly Different
*by V***N on July 7, 2021*

This sugar is unlike any other. It has a very unique smell and flavor. I don't add sugar to my coffee but this makes dark coffee shine as the flavors play so well together. It can be used for savory cooking and applications as well. For those who are wondering, the package says Wisconsin because that's where the company is not where the sugar is harvested.
