Hanashoubu in its Wrapper Hanashoubu 花菖蒲 Hanashoubu is a bean based Japanese snack, 和菓子 wagashi. It contains red beans rather than kidney beans like 彩苺 Ayaichigo.

Where: 合記飯店 Hop Kee 21 Mott Street New York, NY 10013 When: October 20, 2006 When SO suggested going to Hop Kee, I admit I was very skeptical.
