However, as I read Kanro Ame Shokudo’s website and books, I realized that it can be applied to cooking in so many ways. Sugar, starch syrup, soy sauce, and salt, which are the raw materials for Kanro candy, are basic seasonings used in Japanese cuisine. As for the pros and cons, since it is scheduled to be available from December, I would like to take this opportunity to make it at home so that even children who are not familiar with Japanese cuisine can try it. I’m sure people who come to the store will be surprised. We hope that through this collaboration, as many people as possible will fall in love with Japanese cuisine.
