Among the eight islands of the Yaeyama Islands, black sugar is produced on four islands, making it the most abundant black sugar in Okinawa Prefecture. While the production methods on each island are similar, differences in soil, weather, and sugarcane cultivation methods are directly reflected in the black sugar. Color, shape, taste, aroma, texture... Each of the eight islands has a unique character.
◆ Kohama Island
Kohama Island is located in the Iriomote-Ishigaki National Park, the largest coral reef in Japan, between Ishigaki Island and Iriomote Island. The black sugar here is known for its adorable appearance, resembling chocolate.
