"Kanten (agar)" is a popular ingredient for Wagashi, especially in summer. It looks like jelly but it's made from seaweeds. So it isn't necessary to worry about a protease and we can put any fresh fruits in it! It gets glass like transparency but with a lot of sugar.
I made a check pattern Wagashi with less sugar Kanten blocks of milk and sweet ones of Earl Grey (black tea). It's lovely marriage!
