Yōkan (羊羹) is a thick jellied dessert made of red bean paste agar and sugar. It is usually sold in a block form and eaten in slices. There are two main types: neri yōkan and mizu yōkan. Mizu means water and indicates that it is made with more water than usual. Mizu yōkan is often chilled and eaten in summer.
