Description
Today's recipe is for lovers of the exotic, in particular, Japanese food. The cherry blossoms for the Japanese, always a holiday. These workaholics even dedicate a whole day and the whole corporate go into nature and sit under the blossoming trees and enjoy the nature. Maybe that's why Sakura mochi - a favorite treat of children and adults. The recipe is not original, but rather a classic, I told it to my Japanese friend. So the recipe first hand. Japanese rice is special, it has the feature of bonding, and upon impact, it shatters into grains of rice. This pic I just found from TM "Mistral". And black beans the only place I found. Now, because of this, taking all the products of this company, I can make this dish. Try it, and then you can safely say I have a favorite Japanese food. They buy it on the street like we were eskimo, and eat.

Cooking
To dissolve in water pink food coloring. Just a little bit below the color turned out as sweet as Sakura herself.
Weigh the rice and beans.
Cook rice until tender (preferably in a rice cooker).
Cook beans in water on gas. It is better if you pre-soak overnight. But if it happens, it is necessary to cook for 1.5 hours.
When the beans are cooked, you need to drain the water (if it remained) and with a potato masher to mash it into a paste. Pre-put 1стл. brown sugar "Mistral" and a pinch of salt. Allow to cool and roll the paste balls the size of a little more than hazelnuts, arrange them on a platter.
Rice is also need to crush with a potato masher as best you can. Put in rice 4 tbsp sugar Honestly, the Japanese actually beat this figure with a special hammer to make a viscous dough. I saw once on the street. The spectacle is more interesting to watch from the sidelines. Well, we just try our old tried-and-tested way to maximize grind.
Prepare a bowl of water in which to wet your hands because the rice is very sticky fingers. Will skatiem wet hands out rice balls the size of a small hen's egg. Then take each bun, mash in hand in the cake. Put in the middle of the bean "nut" and gently roll him inside.
They should be served, wrapped in salted cherry leaves with the smooth side inward so the veins on top. I happened to have a lot in the jar with the cucumbers. They need to be soaked for 2 hours in clean water, then dry and wrap each urine, so as not to get dirty. The leaves in the end you can eat with urine, it's a nice combination of taste. Sweet with sour and salty.
The table is in Japanese and invite guests.
