japanese morokoshi wagashi

Morokoshi is a slightly sweet traditional wagashi (Japanese confection), a delicacy from the Akita prefecture crafted from sweet red adzuki beans.

Roasted to perfection, these beans are sun-dried for 15 days, then finely ground into a powder. Skilfully blended with sugar and water, the paste is moulded, dried, and grilled on both sides, resulting in a uniquely flavourful traditional treat.
