Irohaya began in Kyoto, Japan, over a century ago, founded by a tea master who believed the purest ingredients deserved the most careful craftsmanship. This Matcha Konpeito was created to solve a modern problem: the desire for a sweet treat that doesn't compromise on quality or authenticity. We use only Uji matcha, Japan's most famous tea, sourced from farms with over 800 years of history, and blend it with pure Japanese beet sugar. Every batch is made in our JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standard) and GMP-certified facility in Kyoto, where traditional artisans handcraft each piece. This dedication has made it a top-ranked konpeito in its category for three consecutive years in Japan, trusted by families who value genuine taste.

Irohaya Matcha Konpeito is a traditional Japanese sugar candy that combines high-quality ingredients to deliver a unique confectionery experience. The primary ingredient is sugar, which serves as the base for the candy, providing sweetness and the crystalline structure characteristic of konpeito. Matcha powder, derived from finely ground green tea leaves, is incorporated to impart the distinctive earthy flavor and vibrant green color, while also offering antioxidants like catechins that may support metabolism and provide a gentle energy boost without the jitters associated with coffee. Additional ingredients typically include glucose syrup, which acts as a binding agent to help form the candy's small, round shapes and prevent crystallization, ensuring a smooth texture. Natural flavors may be added to enhance the matcha profile, and food-grade coloring might be used to achieve the desired hue, though Irohaya emphasizes authenticity, often relying on the matcha itself for color. This product offers a delightful way to enjoy the benefits of matcha, such as improved focus and relaxation, in a convenient, sweet format that appeals to both traditional candy enthusiasts and health-conscious consumers seeking a treat with functional properties.
