I am trying to make mochi for the first time and I tried making the japanese red bean paste from scratch.

I bought the adzuki beans from an asian store and they were labeled "adzuki beans" and everything, they even look like adzuki beans.

But after making the paste it's purple/gray and not red at all...tastes off as well.

I am suspecting these are a different kind of adzuki beans not meant for this?

If anyone can explain to me why this failed I'd really appreciate it!
