Amanattō is a traditional dry dessert consisting of boiled beans (usually azuki or black soybeans), sugar, and sugar syrup. It is believed that the dessert originated in the early 1860s, when sugar became available in Japan for the first time. The first amanattō was invented by Hosoda Yasubei, who opened a wagashi store in Tokyo shortly after. He used azuki beans, sasage cowpeas, and soramame green beans to make the first amanattō. Today, amanattō is extremely popular in Japan, especially among the older generations, since it is regularly served with tea in numerous Japanese retirement homes. In Hokkaido, amanattō is often used in cooking sekihan red rice during the festival season, and that is the main reason that the red rice of Hokkaido is slightly sweet.
