Sakuma's story began in 1948 in Tokyo, born from a simple belief: everyday treats should bring genuine joy and quality. We created this Matcha Milk Candy to solve a modern problem—the need for a quick, authentic moment of calm in a busy, stressful day. Our formula uses only first-harvest Uji matcha, known for its superior flavor, combined with creamy Hokkaido milk powder. Every batch is made in our own GMP-certified factory in Japan, ensuring purity and consistency. This commitment has made it a top-ranked candy in its category for authentic Japanese flavor, trusted by generations.

Sakuma Premium Matcha Milk Candy is crafted with a blend of ingredients designed to deliver an authentic Japanese green tea experience in a convenient candy form. The primary ingredient is sugar, which provides sweetness and serves as the base for the candy's texture. Milk powder is included to impart a creamy, smooth mouthfeel and rich dairy flavor that complements the matcha. Matcha green tea powder, the star ingredient, is sourced from high-quality Japanese tea leaves, offering the distinctive earthy, slightly bitter taste and vibrant green color characteristic of premium matcha; it provides antioxidants like catechins, which may support metabolism and offer calming effects due to L-theanine. Additional components include glucose syrup, which acts as a humectant to maintain softness and prevent crystallization, and palm oil, used as a stabilizer to ensure a consistent texture and shelf stability. Flavorings are added to enhance the overall taste profile, while emulsifiers like soy lecithin help blend the fat and water-based ingredients smoothly. This combination results in a treat that not only satisfies sweet cravings but also offers a subtle energy boost and relaxation benefits from the matcha, making it a popular choice for those seeking a taste of Japanese tradition with functional perks.
