Peach Nerikiri (Sweet Bean Paste Confections) - Easy Wagashi to Make for Dolls' Festival
Sakura mochi are the traditional sweets to serve and are always nice, but since Doll's Day festival is also Peach Festival, I thought a peach-themed treat would be fun to try.
Your cooking time will differ depending on the water in the white bean paste.
Remember that the dough will stiffen when chilled.
When you shape the dough using plastic wrap, and the dough sticks to the wrap when you try to remove it, that means that there is still too much water in the dough.
This will look very peach-like if you marbleize the pink and white portions so there is no clear boundary. Recipe by Choco makaron

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Combine shiratama flour, sugar, and water in a pot and stir to dissolve.
- 2
Heat the mixture over medium heat and stir the mixture until well heated.
- 3
When the flour mixture is hot, add white bean paste. Mix well and continue stirring the ingredients together.
- 4
Cook until the water has evaporated. Touch the dough with a finger to check if the dough is thick and can be moulded into shape.
- 5
Form 2/3 of the mixture into a ball and set aside. Dissolve the food colouring in a small amount of water.
- 6
Add the dissolved food colouring to the remaining dough in the pot. Mix in enough colour to turn the dough a light shade of pink.
- 7
Place 30g of the white dough and 20g of the pink dough onto a square of plastic wrap. Gather the loose ends of the wrap to form a ball and twist tightly to form a peach shape.
- 8
It should look something like this.
- 9
Use your fingers to smooth out any wrinkles and press the dough into a rounded shape. Taper one end into a point.
- 10
Use a bamboo skewer, or the back of a knife, to indent a line midway into the peach shape, creating the seam of the peach.
- 11
This time, I garnished with leaves that I had on hand.

I had leftover adzuki beans from last year, so I created this recipe as a way to use them up. The secret ingredient makes it really good.If the adzuki beans in the tsubu-an are still hard after cooking (this probably won't happen), add 2 cups of water and the tsubu-an to the pressure cooker. Bring up the pressure and pressure cook for about 5 minutes (depending on how hard the beans were). Recipe by Momopanda

This recipe is for a Nerikiri Wagashi like sweet which is made from chestnut puree and plain flour (I used a French chestnut puree). First, make dough with chestnut puree and plain flour and then make flower shaped sweets with it in the same way to make Nerikiri Wagashi. This dough is dark brown and it's difficult to colorize it. So I made dark colored gazania like Wagashi.

Oven-Free Wagashi-style Sweet Potato Treats Oven-Free Wagashi-style Sweet Potato Treats
I wanted to try something different from our regular way of eating sweet potatoes and make a light and healthy snack for my kind. These are great for people with egg or dairy allergies, or as solid finger food for babies.The sweetness of the sweet potatoes will improve after being cooked with the raisins in Step 1. If the potatoes are sweet to start with, there's no need to add anything else, but please taste and add sugar if necessary. Also, the sesame paste will improve its flavor, but if you don't have any, you can just substitute it with regular butter, heavy cream, or soy milk. Recipe by Soraten mama -
Hydrangea (Japanese Confectionery) Made with Simmered Beans Hydrangea (Japanese Confectionery) Made with Simmered Beans
Hydrangeas are one of my favorite kinds of flowers, a true beauty during the rainy season. On the first attempt to make these confectioneries, I used two variations of homemade anko, shiro-an (white bean paste) and zunda-an (crushed edamame), to make balls of anko with two colors. So it took a while to create them. I happened to have store-bought simmered runner beans in the refrigerator, and I thought I could use that instead to make these desserts. I gave it a try and they turned out to be quite delicious.If you're using grape juice containing over 50% fruit juice, slightly cool the bean mixture before adding the juice. If you add the juice while the mixture's heating in the pan, it won't harden. If the juice contains a small amount of natural fruit juice, it's fine to add it in while heating the pan. For 10 hydrangeas. Recipe by Kentama okan -
Japanese Confectionery in the Microwave: Yatsuhashi Japanese Confectionery in the Microwave: Yatsuhashi
My kid was making a fuss about eating anko, so I made this. I just so happened to have shiratamako I had used to make bread with, leftover mochiko from making mochi for New Years, leftover cinnamon from baking apple pie, and some poor Kinako leftover from making Kinako dango, so I tried making yatsuhashi this time. My in-laws said that I wouldn't get caught even if I tried to pass it off as a souvenir. She was really surprised when I told her that I made these in the microwave.I didn't have joshinko, so I used mochiko, but it is better to use joshinko if you have it. I think this is a Japanese snack you can enjoy making with kids since there aren't really any hard steps. But be careful about burns when making this with kids. For the amount will change depending on how it is cut. Recipe by chikappe -

Elegant Japanese Sweets (Jo-Namagashi) for Spring Elegant Japanese Sweets (Jo-Namagashi) for Spring
I wanted to make adorable Japanese sweets that were perfect for spring, so I did some experimenting with uiro dough, trying to make it not too stiff but not too soft. Finally, I thought it looked about right, so I uploaded the recipe.If you need to re-shape the dough, roll it into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap and microwave it for 30 seconds, then stretch it out. If you have too much of the shiro-an, it'll stick out of the sides, so be sure to match the amount of bean paste to the size of the circle of dough. My microwave is 600w, but yours may differ, so please adjust the microwave time in step 3 accordingly. The grains of flour shouldn't be visible, and it should be springy. When the dough dries out it gets hard, so you may want to cover it with plastic wrap while you're working. Recipe by Shiropiyo
