Only the royal family and the gentry in Shuri had recourse to the Ryukyuan confectionery during the kingdom period. This confectionery was used exclusively in traditional ceremonies and events and was not intended for everyday purposes. Today, it is still used in annual events in Okinawa, but they are now available to all people any time of the year. There are some 50 kinds of Ryukyuan confectionery.
