Sprinkle the agar powder over the water in a saucepan and let it stand for 2 minutes to soften.
Bring to the boil, stirring constantly, then simmer for 2 minutes until fully dissolved.
Stir in the caster sugar until dissolved, then pour into a shallow dish and chill until set, about 2 hours.
Cut the set jelly into small cubes.
Divide the jelly cubes between bowls with the red bean paste, mandarin segments and strawberries.
Drizzle generously with the kuromitsu syrup to serve.
