Red bean paste (azuki an) is a staple ingredient in Japanese sweets.

While homemade is nice, it involves careful cooking, mashing, and peeling—an unexpectedly time-consuming and labor-intensive process.

For times when you lack time or want a quick option, we recommend "Osawa's An" made with Hokkaido-grown azuki beans, ready to use as is.

This is a "Tsubushi An" type, where cooked azuki beans are thoroughly mashed, leaving some skins intact.

You can enjoy the rich flavor of azuki beans within a smooth texture.

◆ Elegant and gentle sweetness

This an contains no sugar, instead sweetened with malt water syrup and agave syrup, resulting in a refined and gentle sweetness.

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

◆ Crafted with long-standing experience

Osawa's an is produced by Tachikawa An Kobo Co., Ltd., which mainly manufactures and sells raw and kneaded an (red bean paste).

With nearly 100 years of tradition and expertise, 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 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 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—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 see the situation from a wider viewpoint and consider the factors causing it.

That is the starting point of macrobiotics.
