Azuki (Adzuki Bean)
小豆
A small red bean central to Japanese wagashi (mochi, dorayaki, anko paste) and increasingly used in cosmetic ingredients for its saponin-rich seed coat. Hokkaido produces ~75% of Japan's azuki by volume; the Tokachi region's 'Erimo' cultivar is the most-consumed variety in industrial wagashi production. Cosmetic-grade azuki seed extract appears in cleansing and exfoliating formulations on the back of saponin and polyphenol content.
