Home made “Daifuku”

Howdy

Because I couldn’t reach Izio in time, which I heard from some LUGS guy, has made a trip to 日本 (Japan) and tell him that he might bring me some Daifuku box, I decided to make my own Daifuku (Right image).

It turns out, the effective Mochi making and filling only takes some minutes BUT the Anko took me three damn hours!

Well, I sieved the beans as well, in order to get a thin and toothpaste like stuffing (I don’t like too much bean skins in Daifuku very much) but it would have taken a lot of time anyway… Well… I saved time by using a rice cooker instead of traditional cooking for getting the beans soft.

After all, the Daifuku became as predicted delicious and tastes exactly the same as the original from “Nishi’s Japan Shop” at “Milchbuck”.

Only the color differs from snow white because I only had brown sugar around, but no white one.
But it still looks great, especially if you make coffee Daifuku (planned for tomorrow because I still have a lot of sieved Anko around) where no one minds the color 🙂
