383 g Sekihan Set Makes 2 go (About 4 Bowls): One set holds everything for a pot of sekihan, the Japanese celebration dish of red bean sticky rice. It makes 2 go, about 4 bowls, a good size for a small family or gathering.

Only 4 Components: Rice, Beans, Bean Liquid, Sesame Salt: The ingredient list is short and easy to read. It lists washed rice, adzuki beans, adzuki bean cooking liquid and sesame salt (sesame, salt, processed glutinous rice).

2 Main Ingredients From Japan: Glutinous Rice and Hokkaido Adzuki Beans: The glutinous rice is from Japan and the adzuki beans are from Hokkaido. You can see where the base of your sekihan comes from.

Adzuki Bean Cooking Liquid Included, 0 Added Colorants: The bean liquid gives the rice its natural red color and bean flavor as it cooks. The ingredient list shows no added colorants.

2 Cooking Methods: Rice Cooker or Microwave: Cook the set in the rice cooker or microwave you already have at home. You do not need a steamer.

3 g Sesame Salt Packet Included (1.2 g Salt Equivalent): The packet adds a light salty, nutty finish after cooking and has 12 kcal. It contains sesame, so please note the allergen.

276 kcal Per 100 g of Rice and Beans: Per 100 g without the sesame salt, you get 6.1 g protein, 0.5 g fat, 61.8 g carbohydrate and 0.02 g salt equivalent. The numbers are right on the label.

Benefits

Sekihan on your table without boiling, soaking or steaming: We put washed glutinous rice, Hokkaido adzuki beans, bean liquid and sesame salt in one 383 g set. You skip boiling beans, soaking rice and steaming, so a celebration dish feels simple from start to finish, not like a long project.

Natural red color from adzuki bean liquid, nothing artificial: We include adzuki bean cooking liquid in the set, and the ingredient list has no added colorants. The liquid carries red color and bean flavor into the glutinous rice as it cooks, giving you a dish that looks festive and tastes of adzuki.

Four bowls ready for your family or gathering: One 383 g set makes 2 go, about 4 bowls, which suits a small family table or a modest gathering. Need more? Add 1 go of rice to cook 3 go, so the celebration grows with your guest list.

Japanese glutinous rice and Hokkaido adzuki beans in every set: Our sekihan uses glutinous rice from Japan and adzuki beans from Hokkaido, so you know where the two main ingredients come from. The ingredient list stays short, with only four components, which makes the pouch easy to read and trust.

Cook it in the rice cooker or microwave you own: Our set cooks in a standard rice cooker or in the microwave, so you do not need a steamer. Put the rice, beans and liquid in, start cooking, and enjoy the quiet confidence of a freshly cooked pot of sekihan on a busy day.

Freshly cooked in your own pot, finished with sesame salt: You cook the set in your own kitchen, so the red color develops in the pot and the sekihan reaches the table freshly cooked. A 3 g sesame salt packet goes on top at the end, adding a light salty, nutty finish.

Product Story

Sekihan, Japanese red bean sticky rice, has long been a dish for celebrations, and making it from scratch meant boiling adzuki beans, soaking glutinous rice and steaming everything at the right moment. Busy modern schedules leave little room for that long process, so we put the work into a kit. We pack washed glutinous rice from Japan, Hokkaido adzuki beans, adzuki bean cooking liquid and a 3 g sesame salt packet into one 383 g set made in Japan. The liquid colors the rice red as it cooks, and your own rice cooker or microwave takes the place of a steamer. Today the set makes 2 go, about 4 bowls, and grows to 3 go when you add 1 go of rice.
