Do you know Shiro-an?

Shiro-an (white bean paste) is a type of sweet bean paste. When people hear the word "An (bean paste)", they often think of the red bean made from azuki beans. However, shiro-an is made from white beans, such as white kidney beans, and is known for its elegant appearance and gently sweet flavour.

Shiro-an is a plant-based food made primarily from white kidney beans. It's rich in protein and dietary fibre, making it a great choice for those who are health-conscious. As it contains no animal products, it's also suitable for vegans to enjoy with peace of mind.
