Japanese dessert kusa mochi

The dessert popular in Japan can be prepared by yourself! Try! So familiar in Japan, for us this dessert is a completely unusual delicacy. But very tasty. Having tried it once, I fell in love with him forever. And recently I tried to cook on my own. Wormwood is used in dessert by and large to give sweets a greenish tint, it can be replaced with green food coloring. Although if you manage to get Japanese wormwood, it will be wonderful, since some special taste is still present.
