Instructions to make Sakura Cherry Blossom Confectionery:

  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
