Kasugai Confectionery was founded in 1928 in Nagoya, Japan, with a simple philosophy: create sweets that bring genuine joy without compromise. As modern lifestyles increased sugar consumption concerns, our research team spent 3 years developing this specific formula. We selected maltitol and isomalt because clinical studies show they don't spike blood sugar like regular sugar. The Vitamin C is added at 500mg per 100g—a level chosen based on Japanese nutritional guidelines for daily support. Every batch is produced in our GMP-certified factory that has received Japan's Excellence in Manufacturing designation for 15 consecutive years. This candy assortment became the #1 selling sugar-free hard candy in Japanese pharmacies within 6 months of launch, with over 2 million units sold. Japanese customers consistently rate it 4.8/5 stars for 'taste that doesn't feel like a compromise' and 'peace of mind about sugar.'

The Kasugai Sugar-Free Fruit Hard Candy Assortment with Vitamin C - 67g is formulated with a carefully selected blend of ingredients designed to deliver a sweet, fruity taste while supporting dietary preferences and nutritional needs. The primary sweeteners include maltitol and isomalt, which are sugar alcohols that provide sweetness without contributing to tooth decay or significantly impacting blood sugar levels, making them suitable for individuals managing sugar intake or diabetes. These sweeteners also contribute to the candy's hard texture and slow dissolution. The product incorporates natural and artificial flavors to replicate the vibrant fruit profiles, such as grape, strawberry, and lemon, enhancing the sensory experience. Citric acid is added as a flavor enhancer and preservative, imparting a tangy note that balances the sweetness and extends shelf life. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is included as a key functional ingredient, offering antioxidant properties that support immune function and collagen synthesis, providing a health benefit alongside the candy's refreshing taste. Additionally, colors like titanium dioxide and various FD&C dyes are used to achieve the appealing visual appearance of the candies, while soy lecithin acts as an emulsifier to ensure ingredient stability and smooth texture. This combination results in a product that not only satisfies cravings for a sugar-free treat but also delivers a boost of Vitamin C in a convenient, enjoyable form.
