A traditional Japanese sweet, yokan is a jelly-like confection typically made from red bean paste, sugar, and agar. This unique yokan is made with white bean paste, which has a milder flavor and allows the delicate taste of the tea to shine through. The refreshing and robust flavor of Sayama green tea, which is grown locally in the southern part of Saitama Prefecture, pairs beautifully with the light sweetness and subtle earthiness of the yokan. Considered somewhat rare to find outside of Japan, the Sayama green tea also imparts a vivid green hue, making this yokan a stunning sweet treat.
