azuki

Azuki bars are a favorite of the young and old, so take yourself, your kids, and the granny who lives next door to one of these free celebrations!

Imuraya Confectionery is a manufacturing company famous for making azuki (also spelled “adzuki”) bean products. They’re the ones we can thank for the existence of Japan’s beloved azuki bean ice cream bar, which you can bet was on our previous list of the top 10 awesome ice creams available from Japanese convenience stores.

In fact, the folks at Imuraya loved their own frozen creation so much that in 2007 they declared the first of every month to be “Azuki Day,” and even officially registered July 1 as “Imuraya Azuki Bar Day.” And what better way to celebrate this day than to hand out azuki bars for free at four venues throughout Japan??

▼ This isn’t just to tease you on a hot summer day or anything…
