Kashiwa Mochi

Cultural Context

Kashiwa Mochi is a traditional Japanese sweet enjoyed during the Children's Day festival, celebrated on May 5th. The dish symbolizes prosperity and growth, as the kashiwa leaves are known to only sprout new buds after the old ones fall, representing the continuity of the family. While rooted in Japan, variations of rice cakes can be found across Asia, each with its unique fillings and cultural significance.

Roll 1/4 of Anko into an oval shape.

In a heatproof bowl, mix together Shiratama flour, sugar, and 130 ml water. Add Joshinko flour and mix further.

Cover with fluffy plastic wrap and microwave at 600W for 1 minute. Remove from microwave for 1 minute, mix, and heat for another 1 minute. Remove from microwave for another 40 seconds, mix, and heat for another 40 seconds.

Take out the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap and knead while wrapping. When the dough becomes shiny, wrap it in plastic wrap and remove from heat.

Wet a knife and cut the dough into four equal pieces, then while wetting your hands with water, roll each piece into an oval shape. Fold in half and top with the Anko. When cool, wrap in oak leaves.
