Japanese Sweet Potato Bean Pastry - IMO YOKAN

A very popular traditional Japanese dessert!

This sweet red bean paste called yokan is to be eaten as a dessert or snack, cut into slices accompanied by green tea for example. If we had to draw a parallel with a product that we are used to consuming in France, we could compare it to fruit paste with a truly unique taste, less sweet and more subtle.

Its appearance is due to agar agar, a natural gelling agent from an algae that has no taste but which allows to obtain this gelatinous appearance. This paste contains the famous Japanese sweet red bean called azuki and sweet potato. Azuki beans are regularly used in Japanese pastries and are mainly consumed in sweet recipes.

Store in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and sunlight. Consume quickly after opening. Keep out of reach of children.
