More info

The ingredients found in YOKAN are quite simple. The three main ingredients of YOKAN are AZUKI (adzuki beans), KANTEN (agar, a jelly-like substance obtained from algae) and sugar. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the life of YOKAN is born out of the selection of ingredients. The bean paste comes mainly from BENI-NANBU AZUKI and other large-grained varieties of adzuki beans grown by local and prefectural farmers contracted for growing adzuki beans, as well as from AZUKI produced in Hokkaido. White bean paste comes mainly from kidney beans (TEBO beans from Hokkaido). KANTEN is produced domestically, and is carefully selected for its ability to endure kneading over fire. We use black cane sugar from Hateruma and other sugars that are very pure, that are not harsh, leaving an untainted sweetness.

An Unchanging Taste from an Unchanging Heart.


This is “IWAYADO YOKAN,” one of Iwate’s premiere confectioneries, known throughout the country.(YOKAN is a bar of sweet jellied adzuki-bean paste.)

It is said that it all started during the Enpo era (1673-1681). The Date clan gave its permission to use the name of their castle, IWAYADO, to help preserve the art of this YOKAN.

“IWAYADO YOKAN” has continued in this tradition for more than 300 years.


Amongst this history, KAISHINDO was born as a master confectionary specializing in YOKAN.

This unchanging art, culminating in this unchanging flavor, has been consistently followed as the pillar for creation using traditional methods that have been passed down for generations.
