Perfect results, so easy that it could be dangerous to calorie counters. Got together with a fellow ex-pat with same craving. She had made azuki bean paste from scratch. We made two batches, sat down chatted and had some with tea, all in less than 2 hrs. We excluded the vinegar, microwaved for 8 minutes and found our manju to be just perfect like we remembered it.

I was craving fudge, never made it before but this recipe was perfect. Easy to find ingredients, just the right sweetness-yield was smaller than expected but that might be a blessing. made about 40 1"x1"x.75" squares. Yummy though.
