What is Yōkan?

Yōkan (羊羹) is a traditional Japanese dessert made with sweet bean paste, sugar, and agar-agar (a gelling agent made from seaweed). It has a gelatinous but firm consistency, similar to a solid pudding or thick jelly.

It's a very popular sweet in Japan, often served with green tea during tea ceremonies or as a sweet snack. Yōkan can be enriched with various ingredients, such as chestnuts, green tea (matcha or other varieties), and sometimes even pieces of fruit or other flavorings.

Available in matcha and hōjicha (roasted green tea) varieties, this traditional Japanese dessert stands out for its rich aroma and smooth, velvety texture, offering a refined and authentic taste experience.
