A traditional Japanese confection based on shiro azuki, white bean paste, made by cooking the beans with sugar and agar-agar to create a smooth, dense paste which is then cut into small pieces.
Its taste is sweet and slightly floral, with a soft, dense texture. The combination of the sweetness of the sugar and the subtle flavor of the white beans produces a unique result.
It can be enjoyed at any time of day. The small pieces are convenient to carry and eat, and can also be used as a garnish in desserts or as an ingredient in cooking recipes.
One of my favorite yokan from this Vendor. However, a lot of packaging (as with other yokan brands). Convenient and sufficient size; you really don't need less.

Not the sweetest nor the most intense in taste I've eaten.
There are "chunks" of azuki, though, which adds a nice texture.
