Main ingredients include:

• White bean paste – Smooth and sweet, made from white kidney beans. This forms the base of the nerikiri and is easy to color and shape.

• Sugar – Adds sweetness and preserves the soft texture.

• Japanese yam (Yamato or Nagaimo) – Used as a binder to give the dough a smooth, elastic consistency.

• Agar (Kanten) – Occasionally added to improve firmness or for decorative parts.

• Salt – Just a pinch, to enhance the overall flavor.

• Natural food coloring – Extracted from plants like matcha (green tea), purple sweet potato, safflower, or gardenia to represent the colors of each season.
