Probably the most beautiful Japanese dessert in existence – Video of the day

Amazing-looking Japanese yōkan – we concluded that it was a cake, because it could hardly be otherwise.
Jōkan is a classic of Japanese wagashi sweets: a jelly-like delicacy made from azuki beans, sugar and agar-agar, which is traditionally eaten with tea. Its special feature is that it embodies both Japanese gastronomic tradition and aesthetics: it appears in a clean form, with seasonal flavors and motifs. Its luxury versions are made from premium ingredients, with artisanal processing and elegant packaging, so they carry value not only as a dessert, but also as a prestigious gift.
