Red bean paste (azuki an) is a staple ingredient in Japanese confectionery.
While homemade an is great, it requires careful cooking, mashing, and peeling, which can be surprisingly time-consuming and labor-intensive.
For those with limited time or who want a convenient option, we recommend "Osawa's An," made from Hokkaido-grown azuki beans and ready to use as is.
This is a "Tsubushi An" type, where cooked azuki beans are thoroughly mashed, leaving the skins intact.
It offers a smooth texture while allowing you to fully enjoy the flavor of azuki beans.
◆ Elegant and gentle sweetness
This an is characterized by its refined, 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 by Tachikawa An Kobo Co., Ltd., which mainly manufactures and sells raw and kneaded an.
With nearly 100 years of tradition and experience, they utilize their expertise in an making—considering raw materials, sugar content, firmness, and ease of use—to create original an products.
◆ Surged in popularity in the first half of 2022!
In the first half of 2022, this "Osawa's Tsubushi An" saw a sharp increase in page views on the Osawa Japan website.
Many staff members at Osawa Japan are also fans of this product, along with the new "Osawa's Koshian" (smooth red bean paste). Please try both!
＜Osawa Japan＞
Osawa Japan inherits the name of George Osawa, the overseas nickname of Nyoichi 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 sound complicated...
But macrobiotics is actually very simple.
The word is composed of three parts:
"Macro" means large or long, as you know.
"Bio" relates to life—sharing the same root as biology.
"Tick" indicates technique or study.
Putting these together, it means "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 look at the situation from a wider viewpoint and identify the underlying causes.
That is the starting point of macrobiotics.
