“Hirado Maru-bōro” is made by “Kusunoki Confectionery” in Hirado City, Nagasaki Prefecture.” Maru-bōro” is famous in Saga Prefecture, but Maru-bōro was introduced to Japan during the time of the Nanban trade, and the so-called “Sugar Road,” a roadway that brought sugar to Japan, connects Nagasaki City to Kokura, and it seems that Maru-bōro was introduced to Hirado City, which is located on the roadway, for a long time.
