Irohaya was founded in 1923 in Kyoto, Japan, by a master confectioner who believed that the simple joy of a perfect candy could brighten any day. In a modern world filled with artificial flavors and rushed meals, we created Peach Konpeito to offer a moment of authentic, mindful sweetness. Each tiny star is crafted using a 100-year-old recipe, with real peach juice and no artificial colors or preservatives. Every batch is produced in our JFS-C (Japan Food Safety Certification) and GMP-certified facility in Kyoto, ensuring the highest purity standards. This dedication has made it a top-ranked traditional candy in Japan for three consecutive years, beloved for its gentle flavor and nostalgic charm.

Irohaya Peach Konpeito - Authentic Japanese Star Candy (40g) is crafted with a select blend of ingredients that deliver both its distinctive flavor and traditional confectionery appeal. The primary components include sugar, which serves as the foundational sweetener and crystalline structure for the candy, providing energy and a satisfying sweetness. Peach flavoring, derived from natural or artificial sources, imparts the characteristic fruity aroma and taste, enhancing the sensory experience and evoking the essence of ripe peaches. Food coloring, such as natural dyes like carmine or synthetic options, is incorporated to achieve the vibrant peach hue, making the candy visually appealing and aligning with its thematic presentation. Additionally, a small amount of citric acid may be included to balance sweetness with a subtle tartness, intensifying the peach flavor and adding a refreshing note. These ingredients work synergistically to create a delightful treat that offers a burst of fruity flavor, a pleasing texture from the sugar crystals, and an authentic Japanese candy experience, appealing to both casual snackers and enthusiasts of traditional sweets.
