Yamasan Japanese Millet Zenzai Red Beans Sweet Soup with Mochi Rice Cakes, 150g, 2 Pack

Zenzai with Rice Cake: A Traditional Japanese Delight

Zenzai, a beloved Japanese sweet, features a delightful combination of red bean soup and mochi rice cake. This traditional delicacy offers a unique experience, blending the soft and chewy texture of mochi with the moderate sweetness of the azuki red bean paste. Originating in Izumo, this comforting treat is now enjoyed throughout Japan, making it easy to savor during snack time by simply heating it up.

Committed to using 100% Japanese Ingredients, the producers of this zenzai are meticulous about the quality and origin of the ingredients used. Notably, no chemical seasonings or food additives are employed, ensuring a health-conscious and low-sweetness product.

The zenzai is enriched with the goodness of 16 different types of healthy millets, including glutinous brown rice and black soybeans, among others. These millets are carefully combined with azuki beans and water, creating a nutrient-dense and wholesome offering. Importantly, the black and yellow soybeans used are non-genetically modified, sourced directly from local farmers.

The harmonious blend of textures is what truly sets this zenzai apart. Consumers can relish the crunchy mouthfeel of the healthy millets while savoring the chewy delight of the mochi rice cake, all complemented by the azuki beans and water.

Anko, the traditional Japanese red bean paste, is a crucial ingredient in this zenzai, adding depth and complexity to the flavor profile. Anko has long been a beloved component of Japanese confectionery, and the combination of mochi and anko is particularly cherished. In fact, anko mochi, where mochi is wrapped in the red bean paste, is a staple during the New Year's mochi pounding festivities.

By incorporating mochi rice cake into this zenzai, the deliciousness of the azuki red beans is further enhanced, allowing consumers to fully immerse themselves in the captivating flavors and textures of this traditional Japanese delight.
