Substitu

A substitu is a type of traditional Japanese confectionery made from sweetened bean paste, typically azuki beans, wrapped in a thin layer of rice paper. The term "substitu" is derived from the Japanese word "subushi," which means "bean paste." Substitu is often filled with red bean paste and is a popular snack in Japan, particularly during the summer months. It is typically sold in small, individual packets and is known for its chewy texture and sweet flavor. Substitu can be found in various shapes and sizes, including round, triangular, and rectangular forms. It is also commonly used as a topping for ice cream and other desserts. The production of substitu involves several steps, including the preparation of the bean paste, the creation of the rice paper wrapper, and the assembly of the final product. Substitu is a versatile and delicious treat that has been enjoyed by generations of Japanese people.
