Shirakiku Red Bean Paste Koshi AN (Fine) | Japanese Sweetened Red Bean with Sugar and Water, No Artificial Coloring | Perfect for Asian Desserts - 17.6oz Single Pack

This is the perfect for Taiyaki, and can be frozen for use later. It's also great spread on toast. Sweet and just the right texture.

Good Quality and taste.

Red bean paste is so yummy. I can’t believe I’d never had it until a couple years ago in sesame balls from a restaurant. It’s a delightful treat. I made sticky rice cakes with this as the filling and it worked perfectly. Good, smooth consistency. I do find it a little too sweet, but I don’t think it would be overkill for most people because I don’t eat much sugar at all. I would try freezing the left over portion next time. I’ve seen some say it works, but haven’t tried it and I didn’t use more than half the bag. Try it and enjoy!

I used this to fill the centers of my homemade mochi. The consistency is super smooth. It could be a tad less sweet but all in all a good buy!

Honestly delicious, not too sweet. Great on toast and pancakes. I'm already buying again so I don't run out.

Love it if your making Manju

I use this paste in mochi, and it's perfect. I can't always find sweet red bean paste locally, so it's great to be able to buy it on Amazon. Not only does it have a good flavor, it's very pure. Very pleased with the taste and performance of this red bean paste. Let Amazon donate to your favorite charity!

I love red bean paste, but can no longer find the canned variety. All the markets have now are "mashed" not paste, or have water chestnuts in it, or just plain whole red beans. I don't want to spend time and trouble to try to make paste from scratch. But this product is really quite good, and is just red beans, sugar, and enough water to process. Perfect. Can be used for anything it is usually purposed for, but being from the South, I use the stuff like it was Asian apple butter. Meaning, I butter some toast and spread the red bean paste on it like you would use apple butter. Yum. Also, the product arrived much faster than estimated. The only thing I would improve would be to can this, instead of a plastic bag. But I will definitely buy again.
