- Add the heavy cream, shiro-an, and matcha into a bowl and whip until soft peaks form.
- Place the matcha bean paste into a piping bag and squeeze out round portions on a shallow metal tray.
- Chill in the freezer.
- Separate the anko into 12 portions (each portion being 30 g), and wrap around the frozen matcha bean paste.
- Leave in the refrigerator until right before they will be wrapped with the mochi.
- Place the gyuuhi into a bowl and whip until no longer lumpy.
- Microwave for 3 minutes and then knead it well.
- Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for another 3 minutes while keeping an eye on it.
- Once it becomes shiny and smooth, it's done.
- If it doesn't, then microwave for another 1-2 minutes.
- Place onto a counter dusted with a large amount of katakuriko.
- Divide the mochi into 12 portions and coat each with katakuriko.
- Wrap the mochi around the filling while using a brush to coat with katakuriko.
- Bring together the edges and tightly seal.
- Gently smooth out the round shape in the palm of your hand.
- Done!
- Since these are made with gyuuhi, they'll still be soft when eaten the next day.
