Hello, this is Tanabe's office.

Today, from Mr. Tozaki of YONAGO
I was informed that "I sent it to you."

There are children in the office
There are many seniors, so ...
He said that he sent me to eat it together.
(Of course, it should reach the store within a few days)

I received a message and a photo together.
We will make it public to everyone.

By the way ... In the first place, "Sasaki"
What on earth is it? You want to see it, right? ??

Hello, YONAGO is Tozaki of.

I made Sasamaki, so
I sent a lot to shops in Tokyo.

Jane! This is "Sasamaki".


In Tokyo, at the Tango no Sekku
Not "chimaki"
I heard that you will eat "Kashiwamochi".

Here, at the beginning of June
Because it's a month-delayed Tango no Sekku,
We make dango at home.

..
If you tell the person in the office "All handmade"
I couldn't believe it (sad)
This time I would like to see everyone with photos!


First of all, I will go to Oyama to collect bamboo leaves.
At this time of year, there are some leaves that have grown quite large.

And here is the one I got!


Bamboo leaves and the one on the right
It is "Toshin" used instead of a string.
* Rush rush = When the light was taken with oil
It is derived from using the pith of this flower stem as a wick.
It is still used as a material for the core of Japanese candles.

Wash one by one carefully,
Prepare it and you're ready to go.

And the dumplings kneaded from the flour
Stick it on the shaft and wrap it with bamboo leaves.


This time, it's a formal wrapping method called a main roll.
Use 5 bamboo leaves for each mochi.

Makiki ...


Maki Maki ...
The top is curly and stopped with Toushin.


Toushin flower? I'm crazy
Make sure the upper part comes out a little
The point is to tie it like a hairpin.

I was able to do it well.
Excellent workmanship! Don't do it, me.


Serious story, this method of winding,
It seems that the number of people who can wind it is steadily decreasing.

I want to carefully protect this kind of culture.

Boil this in plenty of hot water ...
When it becomes soft, it is ready.


I will send it frozen to Tokyo.

Please boil in a big pot.
Add sugar soy sauce or kinako to your liking.
(Sugar is the most popular among our children)

If you find it in the store,
Please enjoy this "Sasamaki" by all means.
