Handmade Kyo kompeito - five fruity flavours.
Strawberry Compeito
The use of ingredients so rich in flavour that the strawberry seeds remain on the surface.
Natural cider kompeito
The use of natural water with a pleasant taste gives it a clear, refreshing flavour.
Kumpeito mandarin orange sugar
The use of early ripening mandarins (with green peel) gives it a refreshing flavour.
Kyoho Grape Kompeito Sugar
Coloured with the skin and containing the pulp, you can taste the grape itself.
Lemon Kompeito
The flavour of lemon with vitamin C is refreshing.
IROMONAKA: Four different types of sweet bean paste tastes in a single bite.
Azuki Beans
Made from the finest Tanba Dainagon azuki beans. The sweetness and smoothness of this sweet bean paste is refined and mild.
Koshi-an
Also made from Umaji Dainagon azuki beans from Tanba. Smooth, slightly sweet Koshi-an (sweet red bean paste).
Matcha Green Tea
A classic Japanese flavour using Uji Matcha from Kyoto. Smooth Matcha-an with the scent of matcha.
Yuzu
Yuzu paste and peel are kneaded into the white bean paste to create a moderately sweet and refreshing flavour.
