I introduce about ''Tsukimikai''(full moon event) last time.
There was actually other event said that everyone ate the dumpling offered to the moon after the concert of Shakuhachi at that time.
but my hands were busy to hold my little 3-years son...he slept while listened the Shakuhachi then I decided to go home but my daughter said '' we came to here to eat Dango don't we?''
and she got a little bit angry....
I know, I know, but...
Then, I told to my daughter, ''buy Dango when we are going home at the supermarket''
but I changed my mind, don't buy Dango, make it by myself!! it homemade Dango is more delicious I guess!!
The ingredients of the dumpling making is only rice flour for Dango and water.
mix flour and water, add water little bit and little bit,then knead until it becomes soft like the earlobe.next step is make a ball and center of ball is dented then boil them.
My daughter helped me!! some different shape in the pot,that she made.
after boiled, put in cold water. ready to eat Dango with Azuki(sweet red beans) and Kinako(soybean flour).
That was soooo delicious!! and easy cooking:))
When you put the grape juice and vegetable juice etc instead of water, the color of Dango becomes purple and orange,yeah you can enjoy colorful and various smell Dango.
I made with carrot juice then make fruit punch with carrot color Dango.
see, it looks an asian desert!!
next time, I will try with Matcha (green tea powder):D
Dango is healthy and easy cook!! you can try it!!!
well, it is getting cold a little by little Autumn is here now in Japan.
Its time to eat delicious fruits!!
My children like chestnut, they eat it everyday!!!

I steaming chestnuts and cut half then cooping up with spoon.
How about you? how you eat chestnuts??
