Strawberry and Sakura Mochi
I topped unusually shaped sakura mochi with fresh cream and strawberries. My mother made these aiming for a spring-like variation of ichigo daifuku dumplings. The flavor is guaranteed to be good!
Domyo-ji flour tends to stick to your hands, so moisten your hands beforehand. Don't make them too wet though! Recipe by Myumako

Soak the cherry leaves to remove the sal. (Please soak as needed for the cherry leaves you have.)
- 2
Put the Domyoji-ko and water in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap, and leave to soak for an hour. Mix it up using a cut-and-fold motion with a rubber spatula, and microwave for 1 minute 10 seconds at 500 W.

Open up the plastic wrap and cut the dough into elongated trapezoids as shown in the photo.

Wrap the formed koshi-an with the dough, sticking the dough around it.

Pat the de-salted cherry leaves dry and cut in half lengthwise. Fold each half leave as shown in the photo.

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 -

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 -

I made sakura-mochi, so I made this strawberry daifuku as well.If you cook the skin too much, it becomes too dry and it does not make pretty creases. Be careful not to let it dry while cooling also! It will be better to have a little thickness as well since if it is too thin, it does not stand up. Recipe by BUNNYMOM -
