It’s June and the hydrangeas, or ajisai, are blooming in beautiful shades of blue, yellow and even purple! These are some blossoms I just happened to come across on my way home from work (it was a nice day so I decided to walk).

Sakura Cheesecake
Last night in keeping with the season I made a sakura cheesecake in class today. It’s actually 2 types of cheesecake; the first one is enclosed inside the second, and has pickled sakura flower petals mixed in along with some sakura liqueur (kind of strong, but very good!). This cake also has NO FLOUR in it. At all. Just a spoonful of corn starch.
桜餅 – Sakuramochi
Today I learned how to make a seasonal mochi, sakuramochi. We made two styles, Kanto and Kansai. Each time I learn how to make one of these, I’m surprised at how easy they are.
