Shunju


“Shunju”








Shunju is a wagashi that is an agar block covered with crystallized sugar. It has adzuki beans (sweet red beans) or yuzu (a type of citrus fruit) inside.

It looks hard and it is a little translucent.

Both flavors are quite sweet, and the yuzu one doesn’t taste sour, but it has a slightly sour yuzu fragrance.

The adzuki one is odorless.

The outside is crunchy and the inside is soft. This combination of contrasting textures makes it so enjoyable.  I hope you try it!
