      Hello! Thank you for watching the video. I'm amazed to hear that you came across yokan in a video game. It's quite surprising how that led you to this video. Yokan is a traditional Japanese sweet made with red beans as the main ingredient. I hope you get a chance to try this jelly someday. Thank you again for watching and leaving a comment. Have a great day!

      This is exactly how I discovered the dish! In Pokémon Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, it appears in a location called the Old Chateau and it's called the Old Gateau. Curious about this once-per-save item, I researched further. As it turns out, this item is known as the "もりのヨウカン" or the Forest Yōkan in Japan. The Old Chateau in Japan is called "もりのようかん" or the Forest Manor. The joke here is that it's a play on words as both are pronounced identically as "Mori no Yokan" and the names Old Gateau and Old Chateau came as a result of Nob Ogasawara's increased influence on the game's localization, as he wanted to retain the pun in the game's English translastion! I was always curious as to what the Old Gateau truly was because every time I looked into "gateau" I would always find recipes for more traditional cakes because gateau is the French word for cake, which explains why I wasn't able to find it until I looked at the original Japanese name. I actually just made some of this stuff and while is isn't done cooling quite yet, the little bit that stuck to the spatula was delicious! Highly recommend if you're a fan of red bean paste. It's thanks to this dish that I gained a deeper understanding and appreciation for one of my favorite video games and Japanese cuisine.

      @cookingJapan  Před měsícem

      Hello! It's been a while. Thank you for your comment. Yes, substituting Kaku-Kanten with hon'kuzu is possible. In Japan, there is also a type of yokan called "kuzu yokan" made with kuzu. However, hon'kuzu is expensive and rare, and its texture is jelly-like, which may make it challenging to create clean square shapes. Your idea to make hon'kuzu yokan is wonderful! Thank you for your comment.

      Hello! Yokan that are familiar and commonplace for Japanese people. Is it sweet even though it's beans? I think you will be surprised. The taste is simple because it doesn't use butter or cream like Western confectionery. It’s the taste of red beans. It's hard to explain 😅 It's sweet, so it goes well with bitter matcha!
