What Japanese buyers say

Reviewers praise this kidney-bean yokan (sweet bean jelly) sold in a retro red tube: push it up from the bottom and cut it with the attached string, so hands stay clean. Sweetness is described as refined and just right by most, strong by one, with a coarse sugar crust; often bought at Hakodate station.
