Is it bitter or overly strong?

Not at all. Most users describe the taste as mellow, smooth, and gently sweet — like a soft hug for your palate. It’s richer than white sugar, but never harsh.

What do people usually use it for?

Reviewers say they love it in coffee, yogurt, baking, and even with toast. One customer called it “the only sweetener I don’t feel guilty about.”

How is this different from brown sugar?

Brown sugar is refined white sugar with molasses added back in. Chura Kokuto is never refined — it's simply made from Okinawan sugarcane, unaltered and mineral-rich.

I’ve never used black sugar before — will I like it?

Many first-timers say they were surprised how naturally it fits into their routine. It’s not just a sweetener — it feels like a gentle choice for your body and mind.

It seems more expensive than regular sugar. Why?

Yes, it's priced higher than refined sugar — for good reason.

Strong Flavor Great for Recipes

Good quality product. Strong flavor, great for cooking. So many brown sugars have gotten weaker flavored o er the years. This is the real deal.

Delicious mineral-rich black sugar

This is an amazing "raw" (minimally refined sugarcane juice powder), mineral-rich black sugar made in Japan. It is not cheap but it elevates anything it is added to, sweet or savory. Tea, coffee, juice, stews, marinades, dry brine or rub, or with a pinch of salt when you boil rice, noodles, or eddoes. The hint of salty umami flavor compliments the delicate sweetness deliciously. Treat yourself and try some!
