These sweets are named after the headdress worn by a bride in traditional Japanese weddings. I fell in love with them when I discovered them.

The gyuhi rice dough for Pudding Daifukuis easy and delicious, so I used it to make these.
You could make this with other anko fillings as well. Make these year-round using different seasonal ingredients! Recipe by Makunouchi
