With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s easy recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish.
As strawberries are currently in season in Japan, today we’ll be looking at an easy recipe for delicious strawberry purin. All you have to do is mix the ingredients and you’re done! In previous recipes, we’ve looked at purin recipes that involve decorating the inside of the glass. Many people commented that this is quite difficult so today we’ve got a recipe that is easy enough for even kids.
Ingredients (For 2 Portions)
Two small jars (this recipe uses Weck jars)
200g Strawberries with stems and leaves removed (approximately one small pack)
20g Sugar
20ml Fresh Cream (or milk to substitute)
5g Gelatin (dissolved in a tablespoon of water)
½ Teaspoon Lemon Juice
To Decorate
Premade Chocolate Decorations or Chocolate Slices (as you like)
Strawberries to Decorate (as you like)
Fresh Cream (As you Like)
Chocolate Pen
2: After removing the leaves and stems from the strawberries, blend them in a mixer.
3: Heat the mixture in a microwave on 600w for 50 seconds. Afterwards, add the sugar, gelatin solution and lemon juice in that order. Finally, mix in the fresh cream.
4: Meanwhile, press the premade chocolate decorations or sliced chocolate (white) into the inside wall of your jar.
5: Use the chocolate pen to draw the face, strawberries and ribbons from the outside of the glass. If you make a mistake, wipe it off using kitchen paper and try again.
6：Put the jar into the fridge for the chocolate to harden. Once the chocolate does not sink when the jar is placed upright, slowly add your strawberry mixture into the jar and put it back in the fridge until hard. After your dessert solidifies, you can add the finishing touches of whipped cream and strawberries.
And you’re done!

With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s easy recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish. In this recipe, you’ll learn how to make Santa Rilakkuma cookies 1: Ingredients: (For 10 Rilakkumas)
Unsalted butter: 55gIcing sugar: 25gWhite sesame seeds: 30gWeak flour: 75g 2: Leave the unsalted butter out for a while until it reaches room temperature and then mix until smooth. Next, mix in the sugar, sesame seeds and then flour in that order. 3: Next, split the dough into portions. To make one cookie, you need 15g for the face and 1g of dough for each ear. Arrange your face and both ears as shown in the photo below. Top tip: Rilakkuma's face is oval-shaped so don't make it circular. 4: After you've formed all your Rilakkumas, bake them at 180℃ for 15 minutes. 5: Please refer to the video below to decorate Rilakkuma's face: [video width="480" height="640" mp4="https://www.moshimoshi-nippon.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/30b360fc608b1e730e22322356d962bc.mp4"][/video] Before the cookies get cold, coat them in icing sugar, using a small brush to dust off the excess. Then, wait for the cookies to cool completely before decorating the face. Place a Meiji Apollo Strawberry Chocolate on Rilakkuma's head for the Santa hat and you're done. This is the perfect way to contribute to your next Christmas potluck and it is a flawless plan to impress all your friends.

In this recipe, you’ll learn to make cupcakes based on the upcoming Disney film Frozen 2 which is set to hit theatres worldwide on November 22, 2019. These cupcakes are inspired by the Anna and Elsa poster design for the movie. This recipe has parts that are a little more tricky compared to my usual recipes, but put yourself to the test and you’ll end up with something delicious! Milk Tea Muffin Ingredients (Makes 5)100g weak flour70g unsalted butter50g granulated sugar1 egg1 tsp bottled chestnut syrup5-6 chestnuts preserved in syrup50ml milk tea*To make the milk tea, add one black tea bag into 70ml of milk and draw 50ml from that Bean Paste Ingredients500g white bean paste (shiro-an in Japanese)25g unsalted butter (room temperature)20ml milkA bit of of vanilla extractA bit of Wilton White icing colour 1. First, we’ll make the milk tea muffins. Bring the unsalted butter to room temperature and whisk with a hand mixer. Add the granulated sugar and continue to whisk. Whisk the egg fully, and then add slowly to the mixture. Make sure to add the egg slowly so as to not split the butter. 2. Sieve the wheat flour and baking powder and add to the mix. Slowly add the milk tea and continue to whisk to bring the mixture together. 3. Add a teaspoon of the chestnut syrup. Chop the chestnuts and add those too, then mix once again. 4. Add 70-80% of the mixture equally between five cupcake cups. Bake at 170° for approximately 25 minutes. 5. Next, we’ll make the bean paste cream. Do this by mixing together the white bean paste, unsalted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and Wilton White all at once. The Wilton White makes the cream turn a pure white colour.

All done! I added colouring to chocolate plastic for the chest part of the dress. Then I cut it up and added it to the cupcakes. I hope you enjoyed the recipe, be sure to try making your own movie-inspired handmade desserts at home too! The long-awaited sequel to Disney’s blockbuster animated is right around the corner. The first Frozen film touched the entire world with its frosty beauty with both its story and music. Let It Go in particular was a worldwide phenomenon, and was an immense hit in Japan too.Frozen 2 will see Elsa embark on a dangerous journey with Anna, Kristoff, Olaf and Sven as she discovers why she was born with magical powers, the answer to which is threatening her kingdom. The new film’s main theme, Into The Unknown, captures the complex feelings and emotions Elsa holds as she steps forth, with all her anxieties and hopes, into a new world. Frozen 2 Trailer Japanese Version The first Frozen film was a widespread global hit and there's no denying that Frozen 2 will follow in its footsteps.

In this recipe, I made Mickey Mouse pancakes from the Face Art ga Kawaii Pancake Pan Mickey Mouse set you can buy on Belle Maison. You hear a lot of different tips and tricks on how to make the perfect pancake with your batter, so I'll show you a combined recipe to make yours as beautiful as possible♡ 1. Ingredients (Makes 7-8 pancakes) 400g hot cake mix 300ml milk 1 large egg (approx. 52g) 15g honey 2. Mix the egg and milk together well. Add the hot cake mix slowly to ensure it does not become lumpy. Next, add the honey and mix. If you have time, leave to stand for 30 minutes on the side. 3. For the next step, please see the video I made below. [video width="480" height="640" mp4="https://www.moshimoshi-nippon.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/592191363.154507.mp4"][/video] Heat the pan well without any oil. Once heated, place the pan on a wet cloth once to remove the residual heat, turn the flame down to a medium, and pour in your mix. Once your mix is in the pan, reduce to a low heat, put the lid on and leave to cook. Once the surface is dry, cook the back side of the mix in another pan which you have already heated. Done! Belle Maison sells Minnie Mouse and Winnie the Pooh versions too. Try making your own Disney pancakes! Kaori invites you into her world of character-themed food dishes in her recipe series.

Kobe is filled with famous sightseeing spots like the nostalgic Ijinkan neighborhood and port. The city is packed with fashionable shops and restaurants and is highly regarded for its selection of tasty sweets!The port city, with over 150 years of history, has fostered a unique and diverse culinary culture. Recently, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu began starring in a series of promotional videos for the Gastropolis Kobe project. The artist traveled to the city to partake in plenty of delicious treats, and MOSHI MOSHI NIPPON went along for the ride! Here are some of the singer's favorite spots around town.
Kobe, known as a city where East meets West, is lined with sweets shops that are unique to the area. The tea salon TOOTH TOOTH Dekoboko Sabo opened in 2019 in the Kobe City Museum and offers a menu that mixes Western food and sweets with tea and ingredients from traditional Japanese cuisine. Kyary ordered the Dekoboko Sabo Afternoon Tea Set, a collection of western sweets blended with the essence of traditional Japanese flavors. Guests are invited to enjoy their tea and sweets in a one-of-a-kind space filled with Meiji period flare and retro Western furniture. Those interested will need to make a reservation, so be sure to remember the next time you’re in Kobe. TOOTH TOOTH Decoboco SaboAddress: 24 Kyomachi, Chuo Ward, Kobe (Inside the Kobe City Museum)Hours: 9:30-17:30 (Last Order at 16:30) Closed MondaysOfficial Site: https://toothtooth.com/restaurant/decoboco-sabo The next stop was Kobe Nankin-machi, one of the three major Chinatowns in Japan. Kobe MILK is known nationwide for its Apricot Pudding, which is made with local ingredients. The raw apricot pudding is mixed with milk brought from the foot of Mt. Rokko and other ingredients from Hyogo Prefecture. Of course, Kyary ordered some, and was amazed by its fluffy texture. You can only enjoy it in Kobe–also, the shop sells other puddings mixed with seasonal fruits, so don’t miss those either! Kobe MILKAddress: Shin-Motomachi Building 1F (1 Motomachi-dori, Chuo-ku, Kobe)Hours: Weekdays 9:30-19:00 / Weekends 9:30-19:30Official Site: https://kobe-milk.com For Kyary’s final stop, the singer visited the Moore House, a cafe located in a building with over 100 years of history. Guests are surrounded by greenery, and the Western-style building is incredibly elegant. The Strawberry Mille-feuille Kyary ordered was created by an expert patissier and based on the strawberry mille-feuille recipe from the legendary French restaurant Maxim’s de Paris in Ginza. A generous amount of custard cream complements the crispy pie crust and enhances the sweetness of the fresh strawberries. We’d recommend it with a glass of champagne–if you’re of age. Kitano Ijin-kan Moore HouseAddress: 2-9-3 Kitanocho, Chuo-ku, KobeHours: 11:00-17:00Closed TuesdaysOfficial Site: https://www.kitanomoore.com/cafe/ The streets of Kobe are packed with sweets that you can only enjoy if you visit. Why not come experience these incredible spots like Kyary did? Kobe Sweets Trailer: https://youtu.be/Sx9B1ZdAvlI -
