What is Shiruko?
Shiruko is a traditional dessert consisting of a sweet porridge of azuki beans that have been boiled and crushed, then served in a bowl with mochi . There are different styles of shiruko , such as shiruko with chestnuts, or with glutinous rice flour dumplings instead of mochi . The half-melted sticky mochi and the sweet, warm red bean porridge is enjoyed by many, especially during the winter. Shiruko is frequently served with a side dish of something sour or salty, such as umeboshi or shiokombu to refresh the palate as shiruko is so sweet that the taste may cloy after a while.
