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 agar jelly, a white translucent jelly made from red algae.

It is served in a bowl with sweet azuki bean paste or anko (the an part of anmitsu), boiled peas, often gyūhi and a variety of fruits such as peach slices, 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.

Mitsumame is anmitsu without bean paste, the mame meaning the peas that are served with the syrup and agar jelly instead.
