ホモテナシ

This is an old revision of the document!


  • Normal tea sweets are not that explicit, but this one is what it is: a strawberry in もち dough
  • I like to make a pun on the homophone 一期, quite useful for presentations where you can't bring a scroll.
  • For the smaller Extra strawberries you can get from Migros (about 10 gr each), I find 15 gr あん and 20 gr もち perfectly fine
  • I added a few drops of balsamic vinegar to the あん here. It hides well behind the あん flavour, but it makes the strawberry flavour pop a lot, so I think it's worth it!

Ideas

  • I think the あん around the strawberries looks messy. It'd rather core them and pipe the あん in there.
  • Pomegranade molasses instead of balsamic
  • Make もち dough with milk, yoghurt or coconut water.
  • Liquorice or anise seed in the dough (it's a nice pairing with the strawberry and balsamic あん)!
