Azuki is sweet bean. They're really big on sweet bean in Japan. I think the word Azuki is actually Japanese. Sometimes, the curd consistency can look like chocolate and is quite deceiving. It doesn't taste bad. . .is definitely an aquired taste. Give it a try!

Azuki (sometimes spelled 'Adzuki', as it is a westernization of a Japanese word, which as you probably know is actually written in an entirely different set of characters than we use) beans are small red beans which are commonly used in some Asian cuisines. In the west, you see them mainly in health food stores and macrobiotic diets. Hence, you're not likely to see them used in restaurants in Disney World outside of China and maybe Japan in Epcot, unless one of the chefs in the fancy places picks up on them as a cool ingredient to use in something...Or unless they decide to open a 'health food' restaurant in the AK 
But, as one who does use them from time to time in cooking at home, I can tell you that they are yummy in stews...add a certain sweetness that other red beans, like kidney beans, are missing. :slurp: And, because they're little, they cook FAST.

It tastes sweet like vanilla with little crunchy chunks of red beans. The beans don't really have a taste unless you suck on them and then you can tell they're a bean. In general they are like an added tasteless crunchy that you'd have in any old ice cream. I liked it way better than the ginger, which my fiance got, and he loved more than the red bean. It's all a matter of preference! You can get it at both Nine Dragons (which is the Chinese sit down restaurant in the China Pavilion) or the Lotus Blossom Cafe (the quick service food in the China Pavilion). It's a very small scoop but the perfect size once you're done with your main course.

I really wanted to try it when we went in September. Unfortunatly, our server just gave us little cakes instead of letting us order off the menu with our dining plan. It might have been our server, but the ice cream wasn't included with our DP. 
I was bummed, after trying, and really liking, the green tea ice cream in Japan, I wanted to give the red bean cream a try. For a full review you can read my trip report. It's a good read! I promise!
