Anmitsu Recipe

Anmitsu

Anmitsu is a traditional Japanese cold dessert, a bowl of jelly cubes made from agar (a substance derived from seaweed, “Kanten” in Japanese) topped with Anko (sweet red bean paste) and simple syrup. Anmitsu is loved by many, especially older generations in Japan, for its light, refreshing taste even with sweet Anko, and its visually appealing presentation showcasing cool translucent agar cubes. This chilled sweet is very soothing during hot and humid summers, and a nice afternoon treat to cool down.
