Genkotsu-ame, or “fist candy,” is one of Japan’s most beloved traditional sweets. Despite its curious name, its origins are simple—it’s called "fist candy" because each piece, once cut, resembles a tiny fist. Traditionally made with just three essential ingredients, genkotsu-ame has been a staple in Japanese households for generations, offering an affordable, accessible, and naturally delicious treat. Hyakkei’s version elevates this classic with the rich depth of Japanese black sugar and the toasty, nutty essence of kinako, creating a perfect balance of flavors in every bite.
Crafted with the finest Japanese ingredients, Hyakkei Kinako Genkotsu Candy is a delightful indulgence that’s both satisfying and steeped in history. Whether paired with a warm cup of tea, shared with loved ones, or enjoyed as a nostalgic moment of sweetness, this naturally rich candy invites you to experience a taste of Japan’s confectionery heritage in every chewy bite.
