Thus, my grandmother used to make chi chi dango, a sweet and chewy mochi for all the girls to eat on this day. Habutae mochi is a traditional confectionary from Fukui - Japanese prefecture famous for its silk production. This mochi variety consists of steamed rice cake flour that is combined with sugar and syrup into a silky-smooth dough, which is then cut into thin, rectangular sheets. Thursday is Girls' Day, the happy third day of the third month when it's traditional to eat Japanese mochi.

Instructions to make Tri-color Habutai-style Mochi for Hanami or Girls' Day:
  1. Mix shiratamako and sugar well using a whisk.
  2. Add the water to dissolve.
  3. Simmer over very low heat and stir. When the consistency of the mixture becomes a bit heavy and paste-like, cover with a lid and wait for a minute.
  4. It looks like this when you uncover the lid. Turn the dough over and mix well.
  5. Cover with the lid again and cook for another minute.
  6. Open the lid for the second time. Stir well, cover with the lid again and cook for another minute.
  7. After repeating the process 3 to 4 times, the mixture will become transparent and start to resemble mochi. Leaving the lid on, turn the heat off. Let it stand for 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. Meanwhile, prepare the flavorings in each bowl. I used coconut, ground sesame and matcha for the 3 colors, as I had the ingredients on hand.
  9. In a large tray, spread a generous amount of flour or katakuriko for dusting.
  10. Divide the mochi that was left to steam in Step 7 in thirds. Mix each third well into each bowl from Step 8 to color and flavor them differently.
  11. Move to the tray from Step 9 to dust with the flour/katakuriko. This is the coconut-flavored mochi.
  12. Black sesame.
  13. Matcha.
  14. Cut the mochi in halves and then tear off into small pieces by hand.
  15. Roll each piece into balls. Turn them around so the seams are on the bottom.
  16. Done. The mochi has a soft and smooth texture.

This mochi variety consists of steamed rice cake flour that is combined with sugar and syrup into a silky-smooth dough, which is then cut into thin, rectangular sheets. Thursday is Girls' Day, the happy third day of the third month when it's traditional to eat Japanese mochi. With spring in the air (in Japan at least), sakura mochi are popular (pink mochi wrapped in salted cherry leaves), as are hishi-mochi, which have layers of pink (for blossoms), white (snow) and light green (new growth). Sanshoku Dango are sold not only March, but all year round in Japan. Even though March is still a little bit far away, I still think it would be good to write tell you all about the girl's day festival.
