Ingredients

The ingredients needed to make Sake Manju–Better Than Those Sold in Souvenir Shops!:

1. Make ready 100 grams Sake lees
2. Prepare 3 tbsp Sake
3. Make ready 120 grams Cake flour

6. Take 500 grams Anko (I used koshi-an)

Instructions

Steps to make Sake Manju–Better Than Those Sold in Souvenir Shops!:

1. [To prepare the ingredients] Microwave the sake lees for 20 seconds, then strain. Sift together the cake flour and baking powder. Make 25 g balls of anko.
2. Strain the sake lees, and mix in the sake until smooth. Add the sugar, then mix until well blended. Add the rest of the dry ingredients, then mix until it's no longer floury.
3. Dust a metal tray with flour (not listed), then place the dough on top, lightly roll into a ball, then separate it into 20 pieces. Next, wrap the dough around the balls of anko.
4. The anko balls should look like this. When wrapping, lightly spread the dough on the palm of your hand, place the anko on top, then stretch the dough around while pulling it over any gaps. The dough is quite sticky, but it will become hard if you use too much flour for dusting.
5. Place the prepared manju on parchment paper cut into 5 x 5 cm square sheets.
6. Fill a pot (steamer) with water, add about 1 teaspoon sake (not listed), then bring to a boil. Spritz the manju with water, then steam over high heat. It should take 13-15 minutes. The manju should be spaced about 5 cm apart or else they will stick, as they did in this photo.
7. The manju on the left has not yet been steamed, while the one on the right has been steamed through. They should rise about this much. The surface will shine if left to cool at room temperature. By the way, they taste great fresh from the steamer!
8. Since steaming is troublesome, I tried microwaving them. I microwaved them with a cup filled with water for 2 minutes. They came out dry, hard, and did not rise. The moisture also was drawn out of the anko paste–in short, it was a complete failure!
