Western confectionery shop "Nara Bonbon" and Kindai University Faculty of Agriculture's "Food Study Club" are launching sales of two varieties of "Candoit Hard Candy," which carry the aroma of wine, along with related products.
Sales will begin on Monday, December 2, 2024, and will be available at the Nara Bonbon store and the hotel "Novotel Nara."
Here are the details.
About the Product Development
The products being launched this time are confections jointly developed by "Nara Bonbon" and the Kindai University Faculty of Agriculture Food Study Club, using wine made from grapes grown in Nara Prefecture.
Triggered by Kitani Wine's 2022 release of wine made with Nara-grown grapes, this project was pursued under the theme "Joy of Sweets," aiming to contribute to the development of local culture, art, and industry through sweet-making while bringing joy to many people, which led to the creation of "Candoit Hard Candy."
About "Candoit Hard Candy"
Named by combining "Can do it" and candy, "Candoit Hard Candy" embodies the sentiment of "candy that makes the impossible possible"; focusing on wine pomace to reduce waste, it breathes new life into materials that would otherwise be discarded, resulting in a candy that allows you to experience the rich aroma of wine.
"Candoit Hard Candy" will be sold in two varieties: Rouvage / made with red wine, and Blam / made with white wine.
In addition, as a related product, a fruit cake baked with cultured butter and multiple types of dried fruits re-steeped in red wine has also been developed.
If you are interested, why not give them a try?
