Hi! Have you heard of Japanese brown sugar "Kokuto"? Kokuto is 100% pure cane sugar and is originally from Okinawa prefecture in Japan. I always buy kokuto when I am in Japan but you can buy on Amazon ⇩. Kokuto is healthy and high in nutrients. I like to mix with vanilla ice cream, kinako (soy bean powder), jello, etc.....but tonight I craved kettle corn and made it with kokuto and ginger 🍿 Recipe is ⇩& Enjoy!
