Instructions to make Sakura Cherry Blossom Confectionery:
- Soak the sakura in water for 10 to 30 minutes to remove the salt content. Dry off with a paper towel.
- Create a mold of 17 (width) x 20 (length) x (at least) 3 cm (height) with a sheet of parchment paper and staple the four corners.
- Grate the nagaimo and measure out 40 g. Pour 40 g of the nagaimo, half the sugar, and half the listed amount of water into a mortar and pestle. Once mixed, add in the other halves and mix again.
- Once mixed, add in the joshinko and grind with the pestle. Once it comes together, set aside 20 g of it. Mix in the yomogi powder (or matcha) to the portion set aside.
- Spread out the joshinko dough from Step 4 on the mold. Then, spread out the yomogi dough from Step 4 in the middle. Arrange the 6 pieces of sakura on one side.
- Steam in a steamer for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Mix the yukari into the koshi-an (add 1 teaspoon - 1 tablespoon of flour if it seems too soft). Microwave for about 1 minute to let the liquid evaporate, and roll it out into a stick.
- Once steamed, flip it over onto a tightly wrung out towel, and carefully peel off the parchment paper by applying some water as needed.
- Place the bean paste stick on one end and roll it up tightly.
