Daifuku mochi (Fruits version and matcha version), green tea
The astringent constituent in Japanese tea is a type of polyphenol called catechin. Japan has done a great deal with the humble tea leaf. For example some benefits of the catechin in the tea leaf can lower cholesterol in some cases. Roasted over charcoal at a high temperature and grown under shade for at least 20 days are one of the examples. The most popular Japanese tea might be ryokucha. Depending on the timing of picking the leaves, the grade, the price can be noticeably different.
Have you ever tasted freshly made Daifuku Mochi? They are so soft and fluffy, make perfect combination with sweet fillings. In this experience, you will be able to learn two versions of Daifuku Mochi, fruity one that has fruits inside and the other filled with matcha cream. After you make, you will be served with green tea and taste them at host’s cozy dining room.
(If you are vegetarian, I will substitute bean paste for whipped cream.)
