Mix the agar agar powder, water, and granulated sugar in a small saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, until the agar fully dissolves.
Pour the kanten mixture into a flat dish, leave it at room temperature for 20 minutes, then chill it in the refrigerator for 40 minutes.
Boil the brown sugar and water for 5 minutes into a lightly thick syrup, then cool it.
Cut the kanten jelly into cubes and chop the peach and kiwi into bite-sized pieces.
Divide the kanten, azuki paste, peach, mandarin, and kiwi among bowls.
Drizzle the cold syrup over the top and serve immediately.
💡 Tip: Do not cut the kanten jelly before it is fully cold; warm agar agar is rubbery rather than cleanly brittle.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve anmitsu in cold bowls as a light summer dessert with optional unsweetened green tea.
