@ExecutiveChefLance it's a sweet bean, not really a strong flavor to it. If you've ever had anko (more popular in Japan) it's also a sweet bean but red and a stronger bean taste then white bean. I don't find either as strong as Marzipan which has a really concentrated almond taste; that being said I'm not a big fan of the bean wagashi and prefer mochi and dango which is beanless but this is just my opinion of course
