New to washocook promo 500 yen off for first 10 people promotion ends July 15th.
local recipi cooking course (2,500→2,000 yen per person) Please note, this recipe includes the use of eggs Have you ever heard of Ganzuki? If I were to explain it in one word, it would be brown sugar steamed buns. It's a very popular snack in Iwate prefecture. But where does the name "Wild Goose Moon" come from? you may wonder... Don't the black sesame seeds and walnuts on the round steamed buns look like geese flying under the round moon? It's very poetic, non? We use a 20-25 cm diameter flat strainer, but you can use a sieve as a substitute. We need parchment paper to line in the strainer or sieve. The steaming time depends on the size of the pan, it may take a bit longer than our scheduled time.
