Kudzu cherry blossoms

Japanese: 葛桜 - くずざくら
Kudzu cherry blossoms

A type of kudzu confectionery. It is a light, refreshing confection that is enjoyed from the end of the kashiwamochi season through midsummer. It is made by dissolving kudzu starch, adding sugar, and kneading it under heat. This is called kudzu kneading, and the ratio is 40 grams of kudzu starch, 150 grams of sugar, and 120 grams of water. The dough is taken out little by little, wetted with water on the hands and rolled into balls, stretched into an oval shape, wrapped around strained bean paste, steamed in a steamer, and then wrapped in green cherry leaves like sakura mochi.

葛菓子の一種。柏餅(かしわもち)の時期が終わるころから盛夏にかけての、涼味をたたえた淡泊な菓子。製法は葛粉を溶いて砂糖を加え、熱を加えて練り上げる。これを葛練りというが、分量は葛粉40グラム、砂糖150グラム、水120グラムの比率である。生地は少しずつ取り出し、手に水をつけて丸め、楕円(だえん)形に延ばして、漉し餡(こしあん)をくるみ、蒸し器で蒸してからサクラの青い葉で桜餅のように包む。
