No sugar is added.
It has a smooth texture and a refined, gentle sweetness.
◆ The 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.
Making it by hand is nice, but it involves careful cooking, mashing, and can be quite time-consuming and labor-intensive.
When you're short on time or want a quick option, we recommend "Osawa's An" made with Hokkaido-grown azuki beans, which can be used directly.
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
It contains no sugar; instead, it is sweetened with malt water syrup and agave syrup, characterized by an elegant and gentle sweetness.
It has a moderate, slightly thick consistency, making it easy to use.
◆ Crafted with experience cultivated over many years

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