"Kanten" (agar, or agar agar) is made from frozen and dried mucilage of red algae such as tengusa (agar weed) and ogonori (Chinese moss). Kanten, as sold at markets, is produced through repeated freezing and drying in a naturally cold climate during the winter. It's similar to the gelatin of bovine and swine origin as an ingredient in edible gel (jelly), but chemically it's a different substance.

Agar (or sometimes called agar agar) and Kanten (寒天) are a white and semi-translucent gelatinous substance, obtained from algae. It is a great alternative to animal or chemical-based gelatin.
