How to make Wagashi

Preparation

  1. Pour the fresh cow's milk into a large pot.

  2. Allow the milk to sit in a cool place for a day to develop a tangy flavor.

  3. After a day, heat the milk gently until it curdles.

  4. Strain the curds from the whey using a fine cloth or sieve.

  5. Shape the curds into small round pieces.

  6. Fry the shaped curds in hot oil until golden brown.

Tips & Tricks

  1. Using branches instead of leaves helps maintain the beautiful white color of the wagashi.

  2. For a tangier taste, let the cheese sit for a day before frying.
