Kiyomizu Yokan (Yasugi)
An elegantly sweet yokan born from Buddhist vegetarian cuisine (shojin ryori). This 'Kiyomizu Yokan' has been passed down in front of the ancient Kiyomizu Temple in Yasugi. Kiyomizu Temple is known as one of the most prominent ancient temples in the San'in region. As a confection served at its gate, a simple yokan made only from adzuki beans, agar, and sugar has been produced. It is said that the method for making yokan was transmitted from Kiyomizu Temple at the end of the Kamakura period, originally originating as a dish for vegetarian cuisine. Because no unnecessary ingredients are added, the pure flavor of the adzuki beans comes through directly. Its charm lies in the smooth mouthfeel of the smooth bean paste and its clean, elegant sweetness. It is a traditional taste deeply rooted in Yasugi that you can't help but pick up on your way back from visiting the temple.
