How to make kashiwa-mochi〜Miki’s Kitchen〜

Описание: #washoku #japanesefood #mochi

May 5th is ‘kodomo-no-hi’ or Children’s Day. This day is to celebrate children’s, especially boy’s growth and pray for their happiness, while girl’s day is March 3rd.
On children’s Day, people traditionally eat Kashiwa-mochi that is a rice cake containing sweet azuki bean paste and wrapped in a Kashiwa oak leaf. This mochi is a symbol of fertility and prosperity. Because oak trees don’t shed old leaves until they grow new leaves, they symbolize respect for and a link to one’s elders and ancestors.
