Osawa's Koshian (smooth red bean paste) uses 100% Hokkaido-grown azuki beans.

No sugar is added.

It has a smooth texture and a refined, gentle sweetness.

◆ Sweetness is achieved using malt water syrup and agave syrup.

◆ It can be used as is for anko (red bean paste), as well as in confectionery and bread making.

◆ Suitable for ohagi (sweet rice balls) and oshiruko (sweet red bean soup).

Red bean paste is a staple ingredient in Japanese sweets.

While homemade is nice, it involves careful cooking, mashing, and can be surprisingly time-consuming and labor-intensive.

For those with limited time or who want a quick and easy option, we recommend "Osawa's An" made from Hokkaido-grown azuki beans, ready to use as is.

This new product is a smooth "Koshian" type, made by removing the skins from cooked azuki beans before kneading.

Adding a pinch of salt enhances the flavor, resulting in a refined sweetness that stands out.

◆ Refined and gentle sweetness

This an is characterized by its elegant, gentle sweetness achieved without sugar, using malt water syrup and agave syrup.

It has a moderate, slightly thick consistency that is easy to use.

◆ Crafted with expertise cultivated over many years

Osawa's an is produced mainly by Tachikawa An Kobo Co., Ltd., which specializes in raw and kneaded an production and sales.

With nearly 100 years of tradition and extensive experience, they craft original an considering the balance of ingredients, sugar content, firmness, and ease of use.

＜Osawa Japan＞

Osawa Japan inherits the name of George Osawa, the overseas nickname of Jyoichi Sakurazawa.

Since its founding in 1945, it has been at the core of distributing macrobiotic foods, selling products that meet the highest quality standards to natural food stores, supermarkets, restaurants, cafes, pharmacies, cooking classes, and mail-order businesses nationwide.

＜What is macrobiotics?＞

If you are hearing this term for the first time, it might seem complicated...

But macrobiotics is actually very simple.

The word is composed of three parts:

"Macro" means large or long, as you know.

"Bio" refers to life; it shares the same root as biology.

"Tick" indicates technique or study.

Putting these together, the meaning is clear: "A theory and method for living long and fully."

To achieve this, it is necessary to view life from a broad perspective.

If you or someone you love is currently experiencing physical or mental issues, first try to adopt a wide perspective and identify the factors causing these issues.

That is the starting point of macrobiotics.
