Description
Anko manufacturers use azuki beans and other legumes as raw materials, undergoing appropriate blending, soaking, heating, stirring, filtering, sterilization, and other processes to produce anko. They operate machinery such as production lines, kettles, and mixers, strictly controlling temperature and humidity.
