About Yokan

Yokan is a traditional Japanese confection made primarily from red bean paste, agar-agar, and sugar. This jelly-like dessert is often molded into rectangular blocks and can include additional ingredients like chestnuts, matcha, or sweet potato for variety. Yokan has roots in Japanese cuisine and is enjoyed for its subtle sweetness and smooth texture. Nutritionally, it is low in fat and contains vitamins and minerals from its base ingredients, particularly when made with natural red beans. However, its sugar content can be high, making moderation important for those watching their sugar intake. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber due to the red beans, yokan is a satisfying treat that can provide energy without the heaviness of dairy or oil-based desserts.
