Do you still remember my Strawberry Daifuku?
They are mochi wrapping a whole strawberry coated with Anko filling. Since winter is here, berries are hardly seasonal and so I come up with this original Daifuku but with a matcha twist.
The mochi wrapper has hint of green tea which goes perfectly well with the sweet azuki bean filling.
This recipe is a much moisturizer version than my previous one, and I guarantee keeping them in the fridge won't make them hard. Enjoy!
