Strawberry Mochi


This year is really good year of British Strawberries.

Kimi shigure

This steamed cake has smooth adzuki bean paste inside. The outer is made of white bean paste and egg yoke. Please enjoy the rich but crumbling texture in your mouth. 

"Shigure" is the surface of dry cracked ground after a heavy rainfall.

This is the photo I took on the other day from the top of my street. 

Fish scale shaped clouds are symbol of autumn. I am so happy to see this in such a magnificent view.

It's taken by my mobile with very poor photographic skill.

But I just want to share this photo with you.

Enjoy lovely autumn colours!!!
