Red bean, a material used in hay, is red in color, so it will always appear in celebrations and religious events for Japanese who consider red to be a good luck charm or an amulet.
The dish of boiling beans sweetly with sugar is a food culture unique to Japan, but it is a sweet that vegans can enjoy with peace of mind because the ingredients of Japanese confectionery do not use animal ingredients.
The ingredients are “red beans”, “sugar”, “salt”, and “rice”, all of which are easily available, and can be said to be sweets with high reproducibility.
