Harmony of sweet azuki beans and soft mochi. Shiruko is an indispensable dessert in winter, isn't it?

I like all the ways to eat mochi, but I'm a little worried about the sweetness to eat at the beginning of the new year when I was overeating.

Therefore, we recommend the amazake shiruko made from canned azuki beans, amazake, and mochi. By using "rice koji" amazake without added sugar, the point is to finish it with less sugar than azuki-only shiruko.


To make it, just put amazake (about 120 ml for one person) in a small pot and warm it, then mix the boiled azuki cans little by little until the sweetness you like. If you are concerned about the density, add water to adjust.


When you squeeze it into a bowl, add the browned mochi and it's done. The sweetness and aroma peculiar to amazake match with azuki beans, and it warms up from the core of your body!


Amazake, rice cakes, and canned azuki beans are easy to stock, so it's convenient to keep them on hand during the winter. Even if you are tired of the usual shiruko, please give it a try ♪
