A Japanese dessert with salt to beat the summer heat.

Adjust the amount of sugar used based on the sweetness of the anko.
If using adzuki beans or bean paste instead of canned beans, add a bit more water for a smoother mizu-yokan.
As for the natural salt, use whatever you like; regular salt is also OK. Recipe by Karun
