Today, I'm going to be making "Kashiwa Mochi." Kashiwa Mochi litterally means Oak mochi, which is eaten on the Children's day on the 5th of May.Oak represents descendants prosperity because its old leaves are not going to fall until the young leaves grow. That reminds us of the family prosperity.Before the Children's day, we raise "Koinobori" which is for future success, and display "Kabuto," a traditional military helmet of middle age, to be a strong and active person.The Children's day is a national holiday, it's in the middle of Golden Week, which is consecutive holidays in May, so we gather together on the day to have good time.Let's get started!〈Ingredients〉８ pieces100g rice flour ※＝Joshin-ko40g glutinous(=sweet, sticky) rice flour ※=mochi-ko20g white sugar140ml water160g red bean paste ( preferably "Koshi-an": skins removed red bean paste)8 Oak leavesFull recipe:https://www.princessbamboo.com/how-to-make-kashiwa-mochi/Check my SNS for daily update!Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/kitchenprincessbamboo/Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/akino_ogata/ Check out my store on Amazon!http://www.amazon.com/shop/japaneseeverydayfoodkitchenprincessbamboo※Kitchen Princess Bamboo earn small amount of commission from the store.
