Iteho

Iteho is a traditional Japanese confectionery made from sweetened azuki beans, which are red beans. The name "iteho" is derived from the Japanese words "ite" meaning "red" and "mochi" meaning "sticky rice cake." The beans are cooked in a sweet syrup, then mixed with mochi and formed into small, round balls. Iteho is typically served chilled and is a popular treat during the summer months in Japan. It is often enjoyed as a snack or dessert and is known for its chewy texture and sweet flavor. The confectionery is also a popular ingredient in various Japanese desserts and sweets. Iteho is a staple in Japanese confectionery and is widely available in Japanese supermarkets and specialty stores.
