Now let me announce the correct answer!

The correct answer is...

It was 팥죽 (팥죽).

팥 means adzuki beans in Japanese and 죽 means porridge,
As the Chinese characters suggest, there is a custom of eating red bean porridge on the winter solstice.
It is similar to zenzai in Japan and is made of cooked azuki beans and filled with rice dumplings or rice.
It is sweet and makes you feel warm when eaten on a cold day.

The reason why azuki porridge is eaten on the winter solstice is because it has been believed that the red color of azuki beans has the effect of warding off bad luck!
