Youkan is a bean paste wagashi meant to be eaten as is, correct?

This specific item is Yaokin brand Salted Yokan. It’s a tea snack made from red bean paste – this one is salted, so it should be a balanced flavor between sweet and savory. You can eat it as is (lightly chilled in the fridge so it’s firmer is a good choice), though it’s ideally meant to be paired with a drink. Hot green tea or black coffee are common pairings – something that balances the flavors of the other.

It’s the Werther’s originals of Japan. Classic sweetened bean jelly block often associated with older people. Eaten as is
