Place the mashed sweetened red bean paste in a bowl or saucer. Coat the rice patties well with the mashed sweetened red bean paste.

comment:

Ohagi is a very popular Japanese sweet. It originally was eaten during Ohigan (the equinoctial week in which Buddhist services are performed). The combination of sticky rice and anko (mashed sweetened red bean paste) is very delicious.
