Can you use these to cook with?

It is totally a piece of hard candy. I guess you can boil with soup, or melt before you cook it.

Tastey

I love these. Need to get more than one bag next time. Tastes like burnt sugar but in a good way.

Sweet but not to sweet!

These have there own kind of taste. Taste kind of like a sugar carmel-ish sweet candy. They are sweet but not to sweet. Definitly not ovepowering. Nice size of each candy and last a bit when eating them. Will more than likely buy again.

not exactly the same as hoped but still good molasses sugar flavor

Got this for a friend who bought candy in Okinawa (hitokuchi kokuto) & cannot find it here.This isn't exactly the same (kuro ame) and not made by the same company (he saved the label from Japan).But both are made of 'black sugar' so it was worth trying.He said it isn't quite the same.The one he loves appears to be cut up squares of sugar that are not as hard as this (but harder than the baking type of black sugar).He did like it though. Same good molasses sugar.Also, he likes that this harder candy takes longer to eat one (since it is harder candy) so he east fewer of them. LOL.But, alas, it isn't the same as his 'favorite.'So, based on his feedback, this gets high marks but not all 5 stars.Oh, and, yes the shipping takes a couple of weeks (they give you a crazy big span of time 'sometime between May 2-24') but it came ~1 week earlier than May 24. No complaints as this was expected.

Ok but why the cancer warning sticker???

They are a bit different than the Korean ones I got, these are more Molassessy or Umami. Plus there is a cancer warning sticker….. so if I’m ok next check up i may stock up in these again.

Just okay

Just okay. Not as good as the kind they sell in gas stations in Japan. No chewy center like the one's in Japan either :(

Absolutely amazing!

These candies are both attractive and delicious. They're shiny, speckled little cylinders of hard sugar, each decorated with a spiral on top, and they taste very similar to Indian jaggery. They also last quite a while as you suck them, and totally satiate your sweet craving!
