May sweets and Events

What was the last month's weather???
My garden had some thin snow settled for a second. Then warm sun came out to melt and dried in next 5 min.

Aaaaagh! I fell asleep and now it's the 2nd May....
So now i need to announce today, Cafe an-an is closed due to the May Bank Holiday.
Sorry for this short notice. From tomorrow, it will be "Business as usual".

Sweets from May

Sakura Mochi (Cherry Blossom Mochi) £1.50 each
Sakura had finished in Japan this year, but still full bloom to come here in the UK. Well, an-an is in the South Eeast England, so British Sakura should last a bit longer.
There are very short stock of Cherry leaves this year, but Sakura Mochi should be in the Cafe as long as I can make it.

Kashiwa Mochi (Smooth paste、Japanese Mug-wort & Chunky paste、Sweet Miso White bean paste ）　£1.50 each
the 5th May is "Children's Day" in Japanese Calendar. So I will start selling Kashiwa Mochi afer this May bank holiday. If you want to have sweets delivery on the Saturdays to Croydon Japanese School and Brighton Japanese Club, Please order by 5th to order@an-an.co.uk.

Ichigo Daifuku (Strawberry Mochi) £1.50 each
Yey! British Strawberry season is coming... (still greenhouse grown strawberries, but still very tasty!) Fresh Ichigo Daifuku will be on the Cafe counter on Mondays and Thursdays till October The number is limited, so the first comes first served. If you want to order more than a few Ichigo Daifuku, please order at lease 3 days in advance.

Sanshoku Dango & Mitarashi Dango (Three Colour & Dango with sweet soy sauce)　£1.50 eacg
These need to be with Cherry Blossoms. So I will carry on selling these a bit longer.

This is the photo from the third plate. Next Japanese Afternoon Tea will be planned sometime in June. I will advertise well in advance next time!!!

So, here is the plan of May event....|

Nothing in the line!!!!!!! (;´･ω･)。。

For now, I am making a lot of Kashiwa Mochi for the Children's Day on the 5th May.
That's all....

Anyway, Cafe an-an's 2nd Birthday is coming in June, so I shall make a lot of exciting plan.　I shall make a lot of sweets, too.

I want to do the home-made cake buffet again on the Cafe an-an's Birthday. If the weather is good, I can have more people outside, too!

If you have anything interesting and exciting event, please contact me. Any suggestion will be welcome!!!

Now we shall enjoy the most beautiful time of year here. I really like walking around to see neighbors' front gardens.

Well, I know I need to make MY front garden a bit better...
