It bothers me that they implied white sugar is more flavorful than brown sugar. The reason white sugar tends to be preferred is actually because it is less flavorful and doesn't add anything other than sweetness. White sugar is processed from brown sugar by removing all the components that actually give the sugar a flavor other than "sweet." Somewhat ironically for the process, the removed portion is often sweeter than the resulting white sugar on top of having a much more dense flavor than the original brown sugar.

Kinda understandable they would think that since white sugar is considered super rare in that world. The question remains weather the MC will continue giving the shop owner a steady supply of the stuff.

Actually it's the other way round with sugar.
Brown sugar has molasses content added back into it.
White sugar is just raw sugar that's been refined more and bleached

White sugar is easier to make than brown because of this

tbf I doubt any of these “merchant isekais” mangaka ever do proper research but I suppose you could just say “the rules/standard of this world is diff” (tho it would be an amusing meta series for someone to get isekai’d and try to use all their “knowledge” only for it to not help them or the society they transmigrated to it is already fairly modern day like toilets and standard cars lol)

At least he’s not like specially being like “soy sauce /white rice/japanese products are the best” (yet)

It's so depressing because I love isekais, I also like these more slow ones with trading/production/farming, but it's just SO BORING when the authors keep shoving "I'll make soy sauce!" every time... It's just so repetitive to listen to the MC saying "I'll make that" and then does something specific from Japan, like if every Japanese knows how to cultivate and manufacture their fucking food or sauces. Make a good bread or something ffs
