The botamochi you can enjoy while waiting for the cherry blossoms to bloom is "Kurosengoku An & Sakura An".
Feeling the budding of spring and the breath of life, we pray for a bountiful harvest this year.
A moment of spring to be savored slowly...
This homemade botamochi is made by cooking rice cake in a rice cooker, mashing it, rolling it into balls, and wrapping it in homemade Kurosengoku bean paste made by slowly and carefully simmering Kurosengoku soybeans until they are soft.
The Kurosengoku bean paste is sprinkled with Kurosengoku kinako, and the Sakura bean paste is topped with desalted cherry blossoms!
A delicious spring snack with a gentle sweetness that spreads gently, filled with boundless love, gratitude, and prayers...
