SUN-EIGHT+ Launches Innovative Almond Products

In a significant move to adapt to the evolving confectionery and bakery landscape, Sun Eight Trading Co., Ltd. has rebranded its original brand to SUN-EIGHT+. The company, established in 1979, is a premium supplier of confectionery and bakery ingredients, providing high-quality products that meet the needs of chefs and manufacturers in Japan. Faced with rising raw material and labor costs, the company aims to connect more closely with its customers by addressing their changing requirements with this new brand identity.

New Product Categories

Under the SUN-EIGHT+ brand, the company has established two major product categories: Création, which features ingredients that inspire chefs' creativity, and Invitation, encompassing semi-finished and finished products that offer convenience to users. This illustrates the brand's commitment to innovation and quality in every aspect of its offerings.

The first product to launch under the SUN-EIGHT+ name will be almond snacks, set to debut in June 2025. Tastefully crafted, these snacks utilize ethically sourced ingredients, including the rare Marcona almonds from Spain, known for their sweet flavor and soft texture, KAOKA's organic and fair trade chocolate, and Guérande salt, harvested using natural seawater methods. This combination highlights the brand's focus on not only delivering exceptional taste but also contributing to environmental sustainability and social responsibility.

Product Details

The first product, Amand Salé, will be available in a 1kg package (8 units in aluminum bags) with a shelf life of 180 days from the date of manufacture. It should be stored at room temperature, away from high humidity and direct sunlight. The main ingredient for this product is Guérande salt.

Furthermore, there are two additional offerings scheduled for release in December 2025: Amand Chocolat Noir and Amand Chocolat Lait, available in similar packaging and storage conditions. The Amand Chocolat Noir will feature KAOKA's 61% dark chocolate, while the Amand Chocolat Lait will spotlight KAOKA's 32% milk chocolate. It's worth noting that these chocolate products will be available in limited quantities during the winter season.

To promote these exciting launches, SUN-EIGHT+ is currently running an early order campaign to encourage customers to experience these gourmet products firsthand. More details can be found on their official website.
