Japanese sweets that often don't last long. The day after you buy or receive it is the expiration date ... Sometimes you can't eat it and you're in trouble. In such a case, we recommend "freezing". I will show you how to do that.
Many Japanese sweets don't last long, right?
Japanese sweets suitable for frozen storage include steamed buns, yokan, daifuku, odango, and dorayaki. Carefully wrap it in plastic wrap one by one or piece by piece, put it in a storage bag, and then transfer it to the freezer for long-term storage without losing its flavor.
Odango is sauce and red bean paste
Put it in a storage bag and then go to the freezer
When eating, move to the refrigerator and thaw for about 3 hours. Despite the fact that it was frozen in a tick, the chewy texture of Daifuku and buns, the moist texture of the steamed buns, and the smoothness of the yokan are revived and delicious. If you put a knife in while it's still a little frozen, it's convenient to cut the buns and daifuku cleanly. Daifuku and odango tend to become hard when cold, so it is recommended to return them to room temperature before eating.

Estimated freezing period is 2 to 3 weeks. Although the flavor lasts a long time, it is ideal to eat it early without overconfidence. Also, please note that Japanese sweets containing fruits and agar may not be suitable for freezing.
Because it uses plenty of sugar, it is a Japanese sweet that you can eat at once. If you divide it into small pieces and store them in a freezer, you can enjoy them little by little every day. If you bought or received a lot of Japanese sweets, please try it.
