Anmitsu (あんみつ, rarely 餡蜜) is a wagashi[1][2] (Japanese dessert) that dates to the Meiji era.[3]
It is made of small cubes of
mikan, pieces of pineapples, and/or cherries
. The anmitsu usually comes with a small pot of sweet black syrup, or mitsu (the mitsu part of anmitsu) which one pours onto the jelly before eating. Anmitsu is usually eaten with a spoon and fork.
A few variations on this dessert do exist. Mitsumame is anmitsu without bean paste, the mame meaning the peas that are served with the syrup and agar jelly instead. Cream anmitsu is anmitsu with ice cream on top. Shiratama dango are also commonly used as toppings.
