This product is a traditional Japanese sugar candy called konpeito. These candies are made from sugar syrup, and honey is also added to provide a unique flavor.
Konpeito is a tiny sugar lump repeatedly coated with sugar-based syrup. To produce this snack, the sugar lumps are heated slowly in a large inclined rotating pot called “dora” and by applying the syrup drop by drop, it eventually turns to a ball with a number of horned prongs.
Enjoy the mildly sweet flavor of sugar and the aroma of honey. You can also enjoy this snack by adding it to tea, coffee, plain yogurt, or ice cream.

My sister and I wanted to try the konpeito for the first time and it was so nice! I really liked it as a nice snack. while it is a sugary snack it wasn't overly sweet and very nice!

I'd heard of these via Sailor Moon and wanted to try them. They arrived quickly and were very good!
Definitely worth buying again!

I looked everywhere and was happy to find the candy on Japanese Taste. The bags, I think I ordered a dozen, were a gift for my daughter & her husband. They are set for a while :) The items were wrapped with care.

This is the old fashioned konpeito candy that I remember. I ordered 4 bags of this candy. They were all fresh and tasty. In general, I noticed that the entire shipment from Japanese Taste was packed securely so there was no breakage, no cracked senbei, no broken glico sticks. I appreciated that.
