Akashi Kashipo Matcha Yokan
A Nerikyo-kan (sweet bean paste jelly) from Akashi Kashipo in Yufuin, combining Uji matcha intended for tea ceremonies with smooth red bean paste. The deep aroma of matcha layers over the sweetness of the adzuki beans, and this long-established flavor located in front of Yufuin Station is highly regarded as being easy for children to enjoy as well.
Akashi Kashipo Single Chestnut Yokan
A bite-sized yokan (sweet bean jelly) produced by Akashi Kashipo, located near Yufuin Station. A whole chestnut is placed in the center of練羊羹 (neriyokan/smooth yokan) made from Hokkaido red beans; over time, the surface undergoes saccharification, changing to a slightly crunchy texture.
Akashi Kashipo Ogura Yokan
Unlike typical yokan, Akashi Kashipo's Ogura Yokan has a light green (uguisu) color. The cross-section reveals whole red beans packed tightly inside, offering a Yufuin Japanese sweet that allows you to enjoy elegant sweetness and the texture of the beans simultaneously.
Akashi Kashipo Azuki Yokan
A single stick of yokan made by Akashi Kashipo, where Hokkaido-grown adzuki beans are simmered in syrup and then kneaded into the bean paste. The traditional production method, which causes the surface to become slightly crystallized over time, enhances its simple sweetness.
Akashi Kashipo Yuzu Yokan
A yokan from Akashi Kashipo made by kneading yuzu from Yufuin and Ajimu into white bean paste. Available in sizes ranging from a single-serving 75g for 400 yen to gift sets, this Yufuin specialty features the refreshing aroma of yuzu.
