Amanattō

Amanattō

nihongo|Amanattō|甘納豆 is a Japanese traditional confectionery which is made of azuki beans or other beans, covered with refined sugar after simmered with sugar syrup and dried.

It was developed by Hosoda Yasubei during "Bunkyū" years (1861 - 1863) in the Edo period. He established a "wagashi" store which was named from his childhood name, Eitaro. That store continues in Tokyo yet.

Originally amanattō was called "amananattō", the name was abbreviated to "amanattō" after World War II. The resemblance of the name to the name of the fermented bean dish nattō is only coincidental.

In Hokkaidō, amanattō is used for cooking the "sekihan". For this reason, unlike other areas, the "sekihan" of Hokkaidō is a little sweet.
