Always 'Sperimentin'
Just ordered some adzuki beans and agar agar from Amazon. These are the crucial aspects of making the traditional Japanese sweet treat yokan. It's one of Lycurgus's favorite things. If I can follow the recipe, I may be able to make this delicious stuff myself and not be tied to the yokan cartel that tries to control our lives. Freedom!

(I'll try to take pics and post as I work at the making.)

Good idea. It's hard to find. Down with the cartel.

From Wikipedia:
"Yōkan is commonly sold with silver plastic wrapping in various sizes. Due to its relative heaviness and people's unfamiliarity with this dessert, it has been mistaken as C-4 or similar plastic explosives during baggage checks"

Explosively delicious!

Better ship that yokan - sounds too dangerous to carry on.
