Zenzai 善哉 and (O)shiruko (お)汁粉
|
For me (living in Nagoya):
Zenzai is Japan's sweet dessert made from mixture of paste and
crushed red beans, sugar and water.
We often eat with mochi (rice cake) or shiratama (round rice flour dumpling)
or boild chest nuts.
Shiruko is zenzai without crushed read beans.
