serazo
Serazo is a traditional Japanese confectionery made from azuki beans, a type of red bean. The beans are cooked, pounded, and then mixed with sugar and sometimes other ingredients like cinnamon or sesame seeds. The mixture is then formed into small, round balls or other shapes, and often coated with a thin layer of sugar or sesame seeds. Serazo is typically served as a snack or dessert, and is often enjoyed during the winter months due to its warm and comforting flavor. It is also a popular ingredient in various Japanese sweets and desserts, such as mochi and daifuku. Serazo has a long history in Japan, with its origins dating back to the Edo period. Today, it remains a beloved treat enjoyed by people of all ages.
