Baby harbor seal -Jouyo Manju (Wagashi)
"Jouyo-Manjyu" is a king of buns, a traditional Japanese sweet which is a bean paste ball wrapped with dough of grated Yamaimo & rice flour. Yamaimo is a Yam, a kind of root vegetables. When we just say "Kome-ko=rice flour", we mention "joushin-ko". But I recommend to use "Jouyo-ko" for making "Jouyo-Manjyu" it's finer than Joushin-ko. The texture is very soft and "mochi mochi". I made baby harbor seals with it!
