Red and white bean jelly Yokan

A traditional Japanese confectionery based on Azuki Shiro, white bean paste, made while cooking beans with sugar and agar-agar to create a smooth and dense paste which is then cut into small pieces. Its taste is sweet and slightly floral, with a soft and dense texture. The combination of the softness of sugar and the subtle flavor of white beans gives a unique result. It can be appreciated at any time of the day. Small pieces are practical to transport and eat, and can also be used as a garnish in desserts or as an ingredient in cooking recipes.
