hadisin

Hadisin is a traditional Japanese confectionery made from a mixture of sweet red bean paste (anko) and sugar, often flavored with cinnamon or other spices. The paste is typically formed into small, round balls or other shapes, which are then coated in a thin layer of powdered sugar or cornstarch. Hadisin are often served chilled and are a popular treat in Japan, particularly during the winter months. They are often enjoyed as a snack or dessert and are known for their chewy texture and sweet flavor. The name "hadisin" is derived from the Japanese word "hadasi," which means "to sprinkle," reflecting the process of coating the paste in powdered sugar. The confectionery is often associated with Japanese festivals and special occasions, adding to its cultural significance.
