Beans (Japanese sweets)
As a Latino, the first time trying sweet beans in a pastry was so alarming. I still don't like them, it's so weird. Now sweet, fried plantains with a side of refried beans and avocado? Yes please!
Avocado shake was strange to me as well but it's not bad
It's all about the way you were raised. I'm just not used to adding sweet directly into the bean paste.
It's like British beans and Mexican beans, both are beans but their taste and prep is like night and day
Are they real beans that taste sweet or sweats that look like beans?
Red Bean Paste. It's often sweetened and used as a filling in a lot of Japanese pastries and desserts.
