SAKURA - Cherry blossom - start in Japan

 Spring is a very very lovely season 

in Japan


Spring is the time to start a new year in Japan and I feel the Sakura celebrate us to start school, office, etc. 
Actually in Europe, school start from Sep but not in Japan. 

I received a lovely video  (Sakura Tunnel)  that made my heart skip a beat and would like to share with you. 





 Let's go to Japan in next spring.

Bread Japanese Style - Yami style

 

What do I miss in Japan?  I miss Japanese style bread sometimes.  I think Japanese style bread has a more variety to eat at lunch. For example kind of salty side dish (or main dish) is in the bread. curry, meat, sausage, bacon, etc 

If you live in Germany, USA, China, Singapore,,,,, you can find a Japanese style bread shop but not in Belgium. so, some of the people start to make Japanese style bread during the COVID shutdown. 

and me? Yes, I also learn from my friend and start to make it as lunch bread! Thanks to Google and Youtube! 

My friend’s work

  some example from Youtube  sausage bread  curry bread

Enjoy!

Are you on diet ? then try chocolate mousse with Tofu

 


This is probably not the classic chocolate mouse recipe but very good for diet.  You cannot really taste that the tofu is in it !

If you are on a diet, this is the perfect recipe when you want something sweet. No sugar (erythritol is 0 calorie), no guilt and rich in protein !


How to make (3 small cups)

  • Dark chocolate       75g
  • Soft Tofu                150g
  • Espresso                 TBS 1
  • Rum                        TBS 1
  • Sugar (Erythritol)    50g

You can use any type of sugar, I am on diet so using Erythritol :)


  1.  Put tofu in a bowl
  2. Use blender to make it smooth
  3. Add sugar, espresso, Rum and mix till smooth.
  4. Melt the chocolate slowly in a double boiler over simmering water.
  5. Add tofu mix to melted chocolate little by little.

Hinamatsuri - Girl's day


3 March is a Girl's day in Japan (Hinamatsuri)
This is a traditional event for Girls to celebrate and to wish child's health and decorate traditional dolls. 
And this dolls should put away by 3 March. I don't know if it's true or not, but my mother used to say 'if we don't put away by 3 March, you will missed to get married 😨'

Off course it was really important for most of the people to get married at that time.... (yes, it was already more than 20years ago....)

Currently, I believe the meaning of this event is changing and just celebrate to wish your child's health or opportunity to eat quite cake , etc. 

So cute cake which my friends made it!

5 May will be a Boy's Day
