Yokans are usually sold in a package.
The inside of Yokan.It's true that the Japanese people like to have western sweets such as chocolate, cake, candy and so on. But the elderly prefer Japanese sweets to them and as the green tea goes well with Japanese sweets, people sometimes pick one as a snack.
This Japanese dessert called "Yokan" is my favorite, and this is made from boiled Azuki beans, vegetable gelatin, sugar, and salt. Yokan is soft, but not so elastic as jelly and can be easily cut by a knife or fork.
