Simple Sweet Bean Jelly Paste
Personally, I like it when they come out soft. Bites of this will melt in your mouth -- they'll feel nothing like the store-bought kind.
In order for them to turn out soft, use a small amount of kanten. If you prefer a more sturdy texture, use 5 g.
The sweet bean jelly paste can be easily made, but knowing when to remove the mixture from the heat probably requires some experience.
If the tsubu-an is on the hard side, or if too much liquid has evaporated, you can fix it by adding some boiling water. Find the right timing that works for you. Recipe by Kamoshian

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Bring the tsubu-an at room temperature. Soak the kanten in water for 1 hour to rehydrate (If using powdered kanten, you can omit this step).
- 2
Heat a pot of water on medium heat. Wring out the moisture from the kanten, tear it up, and add it to the pot. Boil for several minutes until it is completely dissolved, then add the sugar. Add the tsubu-an little by little as it dissolves.
- 3
Continuously stir the pot by starting from the point closest to you and scraping the bottom away from you. When you can see the bottom of the pot, the paste is finished.
- 4
Take the pot off the heat and pour it into a tray. Once it has slightly cooled, cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until it hardens. Remove from the tray and cut it into bite-sized pieces, and enjoy.

Sweet Summer Orange and Amazake Jelly Sweet Summer Orange and Amazake Jelly
This is a standard macrobiotic dessert recipe. Our family's version is very easy to make.My husband's parents had given us some summer oranges, and I also had some homemade brown rice amazake, so I made this for the first time in quite a while.Some commercial brown rice amazake is more grainy than others. If the grains bother you, grind them up into a smooth paste in a grinding bowl (mortar and pestle) or a food processor.You can use undiluted apple juice or water instead of orange juice.This is delicious served with diluted maple syrup.

Milky Sweet Bean Jam Using Shiro-an White Bean Powder Milky Sweet Bean Jam Using Shiro-an White Bean Powder
My friend Makunouchi told me about inexpensive and convenient dried shiro-an powder, so I've been using it to make many kinds of an (bean paste). I tried making a milk-flavored paste with it, and it was delicious.If you reduce the paste too much and it become too stiff, add a little milk to loosen it up. If you prefer the paste to be sweeter, add more sugar to taste. If you prefer it to be less sweet, try reducing the condensed milk rather than the sugar. If you reduce the sugar the paste may become too stiff. Recipe by Pu-kosan -
Homemade Tsubu-an - Chunky Sweet Azuki Bean Paste Homemade Tsubu-an - Chunky Sweet Azuki Bean Paste
If you make your own anko, you can adjust the sweetness to your taste. It's also preservative-free, so I like it.There's no need to cook the beans for 1 to 2 hours. Just repeat the boil-simmer and cool steps, and you'll end up with tender and plump cooked beans. Use a pan with a thick bottom.If you use the same amount of sugar as the beans, the anko will be not that sweet. Please adjust the amount of sugar to taste. Recipe by umemodoki
