Extra Edition: Children's Day Stream

"Today, we’re making kashiwa-mochi."

Top Chat: Yes
Top Chat: Feels like we get these snack-making streams once a month
Top Chat: It’s becoming a regular thing now

"First, put 200 grams of joshinko flour and one and a half tablespoons of sugar into a bowl."

Top Chat: Okay
Top Chat: Uh, what’s joshinko?
Top Chat: Flour made from rice

"Depending on your preference, you can mix in about 10% potato starch or shiratamako flour too. It makes the dough softer."

Top Chat: Then, what’s shiratamako?
Top Chat: Flour made from rice
Top Chat: That’s the same thing!

"Now pour in boiling water and stir well with a spatula."

Top Chat: Still can’t get used to that sentence ending lol
Top Chat: Feels like some weird personal quirk

"Once it’s cooled down a bit, knead it by hand, divide it into about ten portions, and flatten them."

Top Chat: Isn’t that tiny?
Top Chat: Maybe it puffs up?

"Steam them for ten minutes."

Top Chat: Here it comes
Top Chat: Yeah, let’s go

"And here’s what it looks like after waiting."

Top Chat: Knew it lol
Top Chat: They’re still small
Top Chat: Didn’t really puff up

"Now gather them back together, knead, and add the red bean paste filling."

Top Chat: Oh, I know this, it turned into kashiwa-mochi
Top Chat: So you combine them like that
Top Chat: All that’s left is wrapping it in oak leaves

"Done."

Top Chat: Oi lol
Top Chat: Where are the leaves lol
Top Chat: That’s just bean paste rice cakes without the leaves!

"You’re gonna peel the leaves off anyway, right?"

Top Chat: Well… yeah, but still
Top Chat: There’s this weird manly vibe about that

"Kyoka, eat the kashiwa-mochi."

"Kashiwa-mochi? Did you make this, Onii-chan?"

"Yeah."

"Thanks for the food~"

Top Chat: Kyoka-chan eating kashiwa-mochi with a paper samurai helmet on
Top Chat: Is she a kid?
Top Chat: Doesn’t matter, she’s cute!

"How’s the texture?"

"Mmm. I think I’d prefer it a little softer."

"I see."

"But it’s tasty!"

Top Chat: Oh no! The adjusted second batch has been loaded into the steamer!
Top Chat: Notice it, Kyoka-chan!
