Authentic Kanto-Style Sakura Mochi - Just Mix and Cook

1. 1

   Sift the ingredients into a bowl, add water, and whisk together.

2. 2

   Add red food coloring in small increments to Step 1 to lightly color (the color can darken much quicker than you expect).

3. 3

   If you have time, cover Step 2 with cling wrap and let stand for 20-30 minutes (you can skip this if necessary).

4. 4

   While the flour is resting, form the red bean paste into 15 balls.

5. 5

   Heat a (Teflon) frying pan for crepes on medium.

6. 6

   After the dough is warmed, remove from heat, spread into ovals, and return to heat.

7. 7

   When the dough is semi-transparent, flip it over.

8. 8

   When both sides are cooked, spread on a cutting board so they don't overlap (to prevent drying out, cover with a dish towel).

9. 9

   Wrap the red bean in the dough from Step 5, wrap with a sakura leaf, and enjoy!
