Azuki (red bean) ice candy is one of the hardest ice candy in Japan.
It's almost as hard as the Nokia phone, so that azuki ice candy can break your teeth, seriously.
I was not big fan of the azuki ice candy because of it.
When I have to eat one of them, I wait til it gets melt little bit. So, that can make it softer a bit.
But yesterday, one of my teammate of Ingress told me over the message to crunch azuki ice candy out loud whenever you feel vexing.
What she actually said was "when you feel down, have Anzai sensei, from the cartoon Slam Dank, in your heart, and when you feel vexing, crunch azuki ice candy out loud" as some sort of the advise. I have never read Slam Dank, so I did not get the Anzai sensei part, but I tried the azuki ice candy crunching.
It was just great, and crunching made the taste even much better somehow.
I think it's similar to making the big noise of sucking noodle when you eat ramen actually make the taste better.
Now, I became the fan of the azuki ice candy by knowing the proper way to eat, *crunching out loud.*
The summer is coming almost there after this rainy season. So, for the hot weather, azuki ice candy is recommended.
They are available in the box like below, and you can find it at almost any supermarket in Japan.
For those who are not in Japan or who cannot find them in the supermarket, there is a recipe for you.
So, why don't you try it?
