Shiruko

Shiruko (汁粉), or oshiruko (お汁粉) with the honorific o (お), is a traditional Japanese dessert. It is a sweet porridge of azuki beans boiled and crushed, served in a bowl with mochi. There are different styles of shiruko, such as shiruko with candied chestnuts, or with glutinous rice flour dumplings instead of mochi. The half-melted sticky mochi and the sweet, warm red bean porridge is enjoyed by many Japanese, especially during the winter. Shiruko is frequently served with a side dish of something sour or salty, such as umeboshi or shiokombu, to refresh the palate as shiruko is so sweet that the taste may cloy after a while.
