Peony rice cakes served on the first day of spring (Ohigan)
Botamochi" is served on the far shore of spring. I made it with homemade red bean paste, kuro-sengoku soybean flour, and matcha green tea.
Peony Mochi with Kuro Sengoku soybean flour
The Botan Mochi, covered with a generous amount of Kuro Sengoku soybean flour, is very delicious with the unique sweetness and savory flavor of Kuro Sengoku soybean flour!
The great peony mochi effect: azuki beans to purge evil spirits, matcha green tea to purify, and kuro-sengoku soybean flour to bring in energetic power!
A blissful moment of calmness with the incense of Kinmokusei and delicious Botan-mochi (peony rice cakes)!
On the day of the Spring Equinox, a day to offer memorial services to ancestors and pray for family happiness, we express our unlimited love, gratitude, and prayers.
