Anmitsu (餡蜜) is a delicious Japanese dessert whose primary ingredients are anko (red bean paste) and various types of mitsu (syrup). The syrups are gelled into little multicolored translucent cubes with agar-agar and then a big dollop of bean paste is added on top. More often than not, some fruit (canned or fresh) and/or some ice cream is thrown into the mix, resulting in a calorie-laden but chopstick-lickin' good dish. Just noding this makes me hungry...

Mitsumame is the same thing with whole beans instead of bean paste.
