Christmas & The New Year "Ukishima" (Wagashi)
"Ukishima=浮島"is a traditional Japanese confectionary made from "Shiro-an"(White beam jam), rice flour and eggs.
I arranged its recipe for Christmas & The New Year with using “Tsubu-an”(Smashed sweet red beans) instead of "Shiro-an"(White beam jam). The Grayish color of Tsubu-an with meringue on the top gives us an impression of snowy days. Red dried cranberries show off the snow color!
