I REALLY LOVE RED BEAN PASTE SO MUCH. I have some chocolate buns filled with them in my fridge at the moment, and I have an obsession with Azuka Bean ice cream; it's so creamy and rich and my GOD. Funnily enough it's not just a Japanese thing, but also a Korean thing (I've had shaved milk-ice with softened sweet Azuka beans and little mochi balls in them once. So good.) So whenever we make a trip to an Asian grocery market (like Komart or Hmart), we ALWAYS pick something of the nature up.
It doesn't quite taste like chocolate or coffee, but it's very comparable to them. Azuka is sweet, but it's a bit savory too--not overly typical sweet, but think of something like having a fruit-based sauce on some grilled meat; something that just cuts through and melts in your mouth. Ughhh. I'm craaviiinnng.
