Kurizenzai is sweet made with soft beans (e.g. adzuki) and chestnuts. These are types of bean paste made by boiling azuki and chestnut with sugar. Zenzai has some variations. For example, that are served in a bowl with mochi (sticky rice cake), shiratama dango (dumplings made of sticky rice flour called shiratamako), and with icecream and fruits.
The etymology of zenzai seems to be a Buddhism word, or it's said to come from the words of the Ikkyu reverend. All mean, "I feel that it is good and praise it" in Kanji.
I got this Kurizenzai from one of the relatives. Before eating, it should be heated using a microwave oven or hot water.
