To make yamabikizakedishes, the main ingredients are red bean paste and agar.It is named after this dish because originally, yamabikizake was a tea snack for Manchu people during their nomadic times in the frontier regions.Back then, they would simmer lamb liver to form a jelly by cooling it down.Thin slices of this jelly were then served with alcohol as an accompaniment.Later, when it spread to temples, vegetarian monks replaced the lamb liver with red beans.This gradually evolved into the modern yamabikizake we know today.Years later, by chance, yamabikizake made its way across the sea to Japan.Many years later, by chance, yōga finally crossed the sea and reached Japan....
