Surprisingly Easy! Homemade Anmitsu
How about making anmitsu at home with your choice of toppings? Making agar is surprisingly easy! It's also a great snack for those on a diet.
The backstory of this recipe
I’m not a big fan of the beans in mamekan. I don’t need canned fruit in store-bought anmitsu. I just want to eat it the way I like, so I decided to make agar. I always have sweet red bean paste on hand, and I can make black syrup in the microwave. If I can manage to make the shiratama dumplings... it’ll be perfect!

- 1
If making black syrup, prepare it in advance.
- 2
Combine water and agar powder in a pot and bring to a boil. After boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
- 3
Lightly wet a mold with water and pour in the agar mixture. (I used a 6x6 inch square mold, but a milk carton works too.)
- 4
Cool thoroughly and cut into squares.
- 5
Top the agar with your favorite ingredients and drizzle with black syrup before serving.
- 6
Agar, sweet red bean paste, vanilla ice cream, and black syrup are all delicious together.
