Festive "osekihan" (red bean rice) is a Japanese take on beans and rice, and is served at New Year’s and other special occasions in Japan. Rice is steamed with sweet red beans known as adzuki, adding texture and a red hue which is a symbol of good luck. This special osekihan also includes black rice which adds to the chewy texture (known as “mochi mochi” in Japanese) and enhances the deep colors.


Size: 90g (30g x 3)
Storage: Room temperature. Refrigerate prepared leftovers.
Ingredients: Adzuki beans (Hokkaido Prefecture), black rice (Kyushu Prefecture)
