  • Sakuma drops (サクマドロップス, Sakuma Doroppusu) are a hard candy from Japan, flavored with real fruit juice. The candies are an easily recognizable icon in Japan as they have been available since the Meiji period (1908). The candies are sold in 4-by-3.5 inch tin cans with a tin pull cap. Sakuma tins are considered collectible items, as the design frequently changes. Sakuma drops are best known in the West from their appearance in the 1988 anime film Grave of the Fireflies (火垂るの墓, Hotaru no Haka), as it played a prominent motif in the film. Commemorative tins resembling the one depicted in the film and featuring an image of one of the main characters, Setsuko, have been released several times over the years. The candy was originally made by Sakuma Candy (佐久間製菓, Sakuma Seika), based in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. The company ceased production during World War 2 due to the sugar shortages. After the war, employees of the original company founded two new companies that continued making the candy, one using the original name and a second also called Sakuma Candy (サクマ製菓), but written in katakana instead of kanji. The second company owns the trademark to the name "Sakuma Drops" and sells their candy as such in green cans, while the original used the name "Sakuma-style drops" (サクマ式ドロップス, Sakuma-shiki doroppusu) and red tins. On 9 November 2022 the original company announced they would cease operations on 20 January 2023. (en)
