It's easy enough to bother making them and I enjoy these cakes with a nice cup of green tea. This unusual Japanese dessert is a little like the distant Eastern relative of fried ice cream. Based on a block of fruity yōkan gelatin, it has a thin, soft coating of lightly sweet batter added to make a visually interesting, entirely Japanese dessert. The Japanese traditional confectionery, wagashi, is very delicately shaped and flavored with natural ingredients such as agar, strained azuki beans, and yomogi (mugwort) leaf.
Instructions to make ‘Kintsuba’ Azuki Cakes:
- Place Water and Kanten (Ager) Powder in a saucepan and bring it to the boil. Keep boiling for 2 minutes occasionally stirring. *Kanten is different from gelatine. It needs to be boiled in the water to dissolve.
- Add Sugar and ‘Tsubu-an’ Sweet Azuki (Red Bean) Paste and mix well.
- Line a square 20cm cake tin or a container with plastic food wrap, pour the mixture and smooth the surface. Let it set in the refrigerator.
- When the mixture is firmly set, cut into smaller squares.
- Mix Plain Flour (OR Plain Flour & Glutenous Rice Flour) and Water in a bowl to make the batter.
- Heat a frying pan over a low heat and Oil very lightly. Dip one of the surfaces of a block of firmly set mixture in the batter, cook the surface. Repeat for all six sides of the block. Re-apply Oil to the pan as necessary. Once you know how, you can cook several blocks at same time.
- If the excess batter flanges along the edges, you may wish to trim them with kitchen scissors or a knife. Serve at room temperature or cold with nice green tea.

In Japan, seasonality plays an important part of their food culture, especially in regards to the ingredients, theme, color, and presentation. Transfer the cake to the cake board, adhering with Royal Icing. With the Dresden tool, exaggerate the cracks in the Icing made by the tin foil.
Try Using Food to Improve Your Mood
Many of us have been taught to believe that comfort foods are not good and are to be avoided. But if your comfort food is candy or junk food this can be true. Otherwise, comfort foods can be very nourishing and good for you. Some foods honestly do improve your mood when you eat them. If you feel a little bit down and you need a happiness pick me up, try a couple of these.
Eggs, would you believe, are fantastic for helping you fight depression. Just be sure that you do not toss the egg yolk. The yolk is the part of the egg that matters most in terms of helping raise your mood. Eggs, the egg yolks especially, are high in B vitamins. B vitamins can be terrific for boosting your mood. This is because they help improve the function of your neural transmitters, the parts of your brain that control your mood. Try eating an egg and jolly up!
Make a trail mixout of different seeds and nuts. Your mood can be improved by eating peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and other types of nuts. This is possible because these foods have a bunch of magnesium which increases serotonin production. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that tells your brain how you feel at all times. The more you have of it, the better you will feel. Nuts, on top of bettering your mood, can be a great source of protein.
Cold water fish are good if you would like to be in a better mood. Cold water fish like tuna, trout and wild salmon are high in DHA and omega-3s. These are two substances that boost the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s the truth: consuming tuna fish sandwiches can really help you overcome your depression.
Grains can be wonderful for driving away a bad mood. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all truly great for helping increase your happiness levels. They fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods as well. Feeling hungry can be awful! These grains can help your mood elevate because it’s not at all difficult for your body to digest them. These foods are easier to digest than others which helps jumpstart a rise in your blood sugar which in turn takes your mood to a happier place.
Your mood can actually be helped by green tea. You were simply anticipating to read that in this article, weren’t you? Green tea has a lot of an amino acid called L-theanine. Research has proved that this amino acid promotes the production of brain waves. This helps sharpen your mental energy while simultaneously calming your body. You were already aware that green tea could help you feel healthier. Now you are aware that green tea can help you be happier also!
See, you don’t need to eat all that junk food when you are wanting to feel better! Try some of these suggestions instead.
