Oshiruko is a
traditional
Japanese
dessert. It is a
red bean
soup with
rice cake, served in a bowl. There
are different patterns to oshiruko, such as oshiruko with some
chestnuts, or with
shiratamas instead of
rice cakes.
It is loved by many
Japanese, especially during cold weather. The half-melted sticky rice cake
and the sweet, warm red bean soup is thought by many to be an absoloute
delight. Some Japanese-style cafes serve oshiruko with
umeboshi as a side dish. This is
because oshiruko is so
sweet that the taste gets tiring
after a while, so you can refresh your palette with the
sour umeboshi.
