Cooking Instructions
- 1
Add the white sugar and boiling water to a bowl and dissolve the sugar. Add the red food colouring by dripping it off the end of a skewer. When you have a faint pink colour, stop and mix in the domyojiko.
- 2
Cover the bowl in cling film and microwave for 3 minutes. Take the bowl out, give it a stir and put back in for a further 3 minutes. Take it out again and leave the wrap on to allow the mixture to steam for 10 minutes.
- 3
During this time, separate the anko into 12 equal portions and roll into balls. According to the instructions on the packet of sakura leaves, either rinse with water or leave them to soak.
- 4
Separate the mixture from Step 2 into 12 equal portions. Place 1 portion on top of a sheet of cling film and using wet hands, stretch it out thinly. Place a ball of anko on top.
- 5
Use the cling film to wrap the domyoji-ko mixture around the red bean paste and form into a ball. Then peel off the cling film and use wet hands to press it into an oval shape.
- 6
Remove the stem from the cherry leaf and wrap around the mochi so that the vein side is showing on top.

Spring Sakura Mochi in the Microwave Spring Sakura Mochi in the Microwave
I made some salted sakura blossoms, so I made some sakura mochi. They came out beautifully and were delicious, and I was completely satisfied with how they turned out. Right after making these, I made 2 more batches to give as gifts. My friends were so happy.If serving the next day, place the somewhat hardened mochi into the microwave for 20-30 seconds.If there is too much excess moisture from the store bought koshi-an, cook it in a frying pan to evaporate the moisture. Then cover with a little bit of katakuriko. Or you can wait until it hardens a little, which will make it easier to form the shapes.If you want to be able to see the sakura blossoms even more, fold the sakura into the mochi first, and then spread out the mochi one more time.

Easy Sakura Mochi (Domyoji) Using A Microwave Steaming Container Easy Sakura Mochi (Domyoji) Using A Microwave Steaming Container
Based on a recipe I got from a shop, I thought sakura mochi would turn out softer if I made it in a microwave steaming container. That's how I came up with this recipe.Adjust the amount of red food coloring to desired color.The amount needed varies depending on the brand.If you don't have a microwave steaming container, you could also make this using a heat-resistant container.

Microwaved Sakura Mochi with Koshi-an Microwaved Sakura Mochi with Koshi-an
Sakura mochi is pretty easy to make.But it is pretty difficult to get the salted sakura leaves.The sakura mochi will be filled with anko, so the mochi is slightly sweetened.Taste one salted sakura leaf, and if it is too salty, lightly soak the leave in water to remove excess salt.

My husband hates koshi-an (smooth bean paste)! He'll only eat chunky bean paste, so I decided to make these myself.Wet your palm well in Step 6, or the dough will stick to your hands and be hard to handle. Recipe by Chikayan -
Easy Sakura-mochi using a Rice Cooker Easy Sakura-mochi using a Rice Cooker
This is my mum's way of making these.Take a tiny bit of the food colouring on the tip of a toothpick. Adjust the colour by adding it little by little to create a very pale pink colour. Before cooking the rice, stir well to distribute the colouring evenly. More sugar helps preserve the moistness of the sakura-mochi. Chill the adzuki bean paste in the fridge. It's easier to handle or shape when chilled. Measure exact tablespoons of adzuki bean paste for quick measuring and suitable amounts. Scoop the bean paste with a spoon, wrap it in the mochi rice, then wrap each in a cherry leaf. This should be done in one go. Store the leftover adzuki bean paste in a plastic bag in the freezer; flatten it and score with lines to separate into tablespoon portions. Freeze it until required. Break off only as much as you need. Recipe by happyblessing -

Classic Sakura Mochi (With Domyoji-ko) Classic Sakura Mochi (With Domyoji-ko)
I am introducing a recipe I was taught in a class for Japanese desserts. Without setting foot in a classroom, anyone can enjoy these delicious and simple sweets made with Domyoji-ko at home.It's best to have the veins of the sakura leaves on the outside of the mochi.Be careful not the let the leaves dry out too much, as the mochi will looks less appealing that way.

Doumyouji Sakura Mochi Doumyouji Sakura Mochi
To celebrate Hinamatsuri (Girl's Day Festival), I made this Kansai-style sakura mochi that features the subtle saltiness of the sakura leaf, sweetness of an, and the grainy texture of doumyouji-ko.The coloring should be very light to produce a refined touch. Spread the mochi into a size just big enough to wrap the an paste, and make sure the mochi wrapping is even. That way, they'll look just like those sold in shops. Recipe by Lovepann -
Easy Kusa-Mochi in the Microwave Easy Kusa-Mochi in the Microwave
This is kusa-mochi made with yomogi, a plant that can only be eaten fresh at this time of year. I found some soft yomogi down by the river and it made me want to make these.Fresh yomogi is very delicious but for those who feel uncomfortable picking it (there is a poisonous plant that looks very similar) or can't get hold of it, you can buy it safely by mail order.

Sakura Mochi Sakura Mochi
I learned this recipe in a yakuzen medicinal cooking class and tried making a less sweet version.Sakura leaves are supposedly good for coughs, relieving asthma and inflammation, bringing down fevers, in antidotes, and as hangover cures. They also supposedly work to increase blood pressure, help depression, regulate the stomach and intestines and stop diarrhea.About 5 minutes before you cook the rice, place the sakura leaves in water and de-salt them. When wrapping the mochi, wrap the leaf so that the veins are showing.If the rice cooker has a water level indicator for mochi rice, use that. If not, fill with water to just below the white rice line. Recipe by PANko -

Easy Kanto-Style Sakura Mochi Using an Electric Griddle Easy Kanto-Style Sakura Mochi Using an Electric Griddle
I'm from Kanagawa prefecture and I grew up with this Kanto-style sakura mochi. But in Hokkaido, where I am now, they normally sell Domyoji mochi and I can't buy the kanto-style sakura mochi. I want to eat the kanto-style sakura mochi, so I make them myself every year around this time.Electric griddles are convenient as their cooking temperatures are stable and you won't have to worry too much about over- or undercooking the batter.If you can't be bothered to use the electric griddle, you can make it using a frying pan.I used store-bought anko, but use homemade if you'd like.You can make it using only the flour, but it will be nice and chewy if you add shiratamako.
