Bring a touch of elegance to your kitchen with Maeda Shiro An White Bean Paste. While red bean paste is famous, Shiro An (white bean paste) is prized for its delicate, mild flavor and beautiful pale color, which allows the vibrant colors of fresh fruit to truly pop.

Smooth, Sweet, and Ready to Use. We craft our white bean paste to be incredibly silky and easy to work with. It provides a clean, sweet base that pairs perfectly with everything from tart strawberries to earthy matcha. This pack is specially designed for home bakers—one bag is the perfect amount to make about 10 to 15 delicious strawberry mochi cakes. Whether you are filling steamed buns, layering a cake, or making your very first batch of Daifuku, Maeda ensures you get a professional, authentic result every time.

Key Features of Shiro An White Bean Paste:

• Traditional Smooth Texture: Expertly mashed and strained for a velvety, lump-free consistency.

• Mild & Delicate Flavor: A clean sweetness that enhances rather than overpowers your other ingredients.

• The Perfect Mochi Filling: Specially formulated to be the ideal companion for fresh fruit mochi.

• Ready-to-Use Convenience: No soaking or boiling required—just open the pack and start creating.

• Generous Amount: One pack contains enough paste to make approximately 10–15 pieces of Ichigo Daifuku.
