Yokan

Yokan

EverydaySweetened

Yokan is a traditional Japanese confectionery made from sweetened red bean paste, agar, and sugar, formed into a dense rectangular block. This vegan-friendly dessert achieves its firm, sliceable texture through seaweed-derived agar instead of gelatin, offering a distinctive mouthfeel between jelly and fudge. While nutritionally dense in carbohydrates and sugars, it provides modest fiber from azuki beans and is commonly served in thin slices with green tea as a balanced accompaniment.
