This version from YAMASAN KYOTO UJI is made of white koshian bean paste made from lima beans and white peas rather than the more common azuki red bean, which gives it a lighter flavour profile. Combined with Wasanbon sugar, a rare traditionally handcrafted Japanese sugar produced in small batches in Kagawa and Tokushima prefectures, the sweetness is refined well. It has me saying "hmm not too sweet". The texture is a firm, springy jelly. It slices beautifully with the little plastic knife included in the tin. I've been enjoying mine chilled from the fridge alongside a matcha or black coffee. Review: Excellent quality Japanese sweets - Your enjoyment of this will depend on whether or not you have tried Japanese sweets in the past. The sweet has a somewhat jelly-like consistency, and the taste, though caramel, is not particularly sweet. The sweet comes in a block, rather like a block of tofu, and is accompanied with a sharp plastic knife with which you can chop it into pieces. I find this to be perfect with a cup of tea or coffee, it isn't particularly sweet and it's a very small amount of food, perfect for an afternoon treat. Given the high quality of the ingredients and the fact that this is a Japanese product, it is fairly pricey, but is pretty much value for money given the kind of similar sweets that you can buy in Japanese shops. The texture, which is jelly-like, is something that you will either love or hate, and I certainly would recommend trying this somewhere first before committing to buying it. However, I really like this and recommend it to anyone who is looking for fine Japanese sweets. ## Features - A CLASSIC OF JAPANESE SWEETS – TRADITIONAL YOKAN – Yokan is one of the most beloved Japanese sweets, known for its rich, jelly-like texture made by heating red bean paste, sugar, and agar. This traditional dessert has a springy bite and a satisfying sweetness, making it a favorite treat among fans of wagashi Japanese sweets. - MADE WITH PREMIUM JAPANESE WASANBON SUGAR – The sweetness in this yokan comes from Wasanbon, Japan’s highest-grade sugar. Handcrafted in small batches in Kagawa and Tokushima prefectures, this rare sugar is made using traditional techniques passed down for generations. It lends a delicate, refined sweetness unlike any ordinary sugar. - SMOOTH WHITE KOSHIAN BEAN PASTE – Instead of the usual red bean paste, this yokan uses white koshian paste made from white peas and lima beans, combined with Wasanbon for a light, elegant flavor. It's smooth, firm, and naturally gluten-free, with no wheat or artificial ingredients. - SLOW-COOKED FOR DEPTH AND FLAVOR – This yokan is carefully cooked 1.5 to 2 times longer than standard versions to deepen its flavor. No artificial coloring is addedβ€”the beautiful caramel hue is all thanks to slow cooking. The result is a rich, well-balanced sweetness that lingers on the palate. - PERFECT WITH TEA OR COFFEE – A DELIGHTFUL TREAT – Whether paired with Japanese tea, black tea, or coffee, this Japanese red bean sweet is a perfect match. Enjoy it as a refined dessert, a mid-day indulgence, or as part of a traditional tea ceremony experience. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BFWVQQ55 | | ASIN | B0BFWVQQ55 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Brand Name | YAMASAN KYOTO UJI | | Container Type | Tin | | Country of Origin | Japan | | Country of origin | Japan | | Cuisine | Asian | | Customer Reviews | 3.6 3.6 out of 5 stars (25) | | Customer reviews | 3.6 3.6 out of 5 stars (25) | | Flavour | Caramel | | Item Form | Paste | | Item Package Weight | 0.29 Kilograms | | Item Weight | 240 Grams | | Manufacturer | YAMASAN KYOTO UJI | | Manufacturer | YAMASAN KYOTO UJI | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 13.4 x 10.2 x 3.4 cm; 240 g | | Size | 240g (Pack of 1) | | Specialty | Gluten-Free | | Unit Count | 240.0 gram | ## Product Details - **Brand:** YAMASAN KYOTO UJI - **Flavour:** Caramel - **Item form:** Paste - **Item weight:** 240 Grams - **Number of items:** 1 - **Number of pieces:** 1 - **Package information:** Tin - **Package weight:** 0.29 Kilograms - **Speciality:** Gluten-Free - **Unit count:** 240.0 gram ## Images ![Traditional Japanese Wagashi Sweets Yokan - Sweet Koshian Anko Paste Jelly Cake, Wasanbon Sugar, No Coloring, Gluten Free, Made in Japan 240g(8.4OZ) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71yPq+lYqQL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Traditional roots *by A***N on 23 March 2026* Yokan is one of Japan's most storied confections, a sweet with roots stretching back around 680 years, slowly refined over centuries into the jelly block dessert it is today - it's same treat that Ryu snacks on in Street Fighter!

For me, I didn't like the texture and the taste was odd. Whether it is proper traditional Yamasan Kyoto UJI or not I don't know, so I can't comment. However, for me, it wasn't the best sweet. But nice to try it at least! ## Frequently Bought Together - YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Traditional Japanese Wagashi Sweets Yokan - Sweet Koshian Anko Paste Jelly Cake, Wasanbon Sugar, No Coloring, Gluten Free, Made in Japan 240g(8.4OZ) - YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Japanese Sakura Mochi Candies -Cherry blossom Rice Cakes- Aromatic Flavor of Japanese Spring 300g/10.58oz - YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Japanese Sweets Kuzu Mochi, Traditional Wagashi Dessert 183gx2BOX --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/487072023-traditional-japanese-wagashi-sweets-yokan-sweet-koshian-anko-paste-jelly](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/487072023-traditional-japanese-wagashi-sweets-yokan-sweet-koshian-anko-paste-jelly) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-11*
