ほうじ茶のかき氷

Also with 白玉団子,練乳,金時豆.
Always love Japanese tea and It was my wish to visit the beautiful Uji,and finally made happened with the help of my good friend Yukari.Apart from the seeing scenery,it wouldn't make sense if we didn't have some tea dessert there!I totally fell in love with Kyoto style kakigor

kakigori,it's extremely hot these days in HK,it's time to try it out at home,with the 焙煎大和茶 that Yukari and Romi gave me!Big thank you girls,it's the most aromatic ほうじ茶 I ever had,I enjoyed this so much while thinking of you!Also thank you for staying around with me,and all those wonderful gifts,it

is the most memorable vacation for me,let's meet again real soon!

😭😆✨🙌👍🙏💕💕💕😢😍👏

ほうじ茶だと抹茶よりも優しい雰囲気になりそうです。
大粒の小豆も美味しそう

正に日本の夏だね👏👏✨✨✨
あなたは本当に香港に住んでるのかしら？😁Anyway, I miss you so much!!...Plus slight Uji too! You know I said "no need to make post with gift",but actually it was big lie..I've been looking forward to this posts😍✌i was surprised,You reappeared 藤吉style かき氷 wonderfully! It's soooo Japan🎌 Wow..did you make 白玉

白玉too!? I love かき氷 especially putting 白玉💘it's genuine looks that i love,I guess nobody realize HK's guy created this post. Also it brings me back pleasant memories✨
thank you for making amazing post with our gift😭🙏💕I got another memorable post in your posts.
Add,Actually I and Romie picked same tea

same tea without meeting,i was amazed!😁
See you soon Rickun😊🎶

Thank you so much,no need to reply me if you are busy,I totally get it,please spend quality time with Kanta ちゃん!I appreciate your kindness!

第一次做白玉団子，沒有太講究的，我想白玉粉的質量也很重要的，下次找些優質的，看看會不會美味一點。ほうじ茶也很挺美味的，就這樣直接喝和做甜品也合適！今次多得她們的禮物，可以做這個很和風的刨冰，炎炎夏日吃得真爽！

Thank you Makiko San!I am having fun with all the kakigori,of course my favorite are all the tea flavours too,I bought some 金時豆but didn't know what to do with them,but I think it works well here.Japanese style kakigori is so delicious and it brings back good memory eating this!

Rick, 今天實在抱歉，由於Michako san的事情，我太著急得給你添麻煩了⋯。你的工作也很忙吧，我非常擔心是否影響你的工作了。

Thanks,glad you like this,let's fight the heat with kakigori!

You bet my dear,although I am from HK,but all these Japanese traditional food really attracts me!I have been trying out different flavors kakigori for days now,peach,earl grey...I am having so much fun,fighting the heat here too!
Actually I didn't have many chance to have kakigori in Japan,it was th

the Taiwan trip last year that I started to take interest in them,you see it's a big thing over there,and they have some really good ones too!I got back and bought a little machine so I could try my own,but I couldn't get round to it and it started to get cool...
I was hoping to surprise you a bit,

I came up with this idea while I was thinking what I could do with your gift,this is perfect because we actually had something similar together!Yes,first time I made 白玉団子,I thought they are nice to provide a different texture in kakigori too,anything I should know to make a good one?I totally enjoye

enjoyed the tea,it makes a great syrup for this too!Thank you for all the gifts,its good that you and Romi gave me the same houjicha before I love it so much!I am hoping I could feature rest of the gifts at other posts,let's see...As for kakigori and other tea dessert,it was golden experience for me

to try them at うじ's 中村籐吉itself.Please take me to 丸久小山園too next time to see how they compare.

請放心，沒有麻煩，仍在打聼中。
今天工作實在很空閒，也不需做菜，昨天晚上還留下很多....
有消息的話會通知你的！

謝謝，你真熱情。

我從來沒注意過白玉粉的品質，你對材料的研究熱情可真值得佩服！

原來香港也可以買到白玉粉。
優質的白玉粉真的好吃的話可以告訴我嗎？

其實對日本的甜吃都有㸃陌生，只是印象中吃過比我更好的，所以希望從不同的方向改善一下，知多一點總是好的！上次用的白玉粉是貪方便買的普通貨色，優質的香港還應該找得到
，到時會介紹給你的！

Machiko,你好！
有些不太好的消息，聽說 Michako San 已離開 SD,詳細原因就不太清楚了，但她本人是無恙的，請放心！我在這裏已一段時間了，也見過很多人來來去去，是有點無奈的，畢竟應該是一件輕鬆的事來的，若果感到壓力便變得沒意思了，對嗎？我們尊重她的決定吧，說不定有天她會回來的!

Rick, 你好。 是這麼回事⋯。聽說她本人無恙，我就放心了。
你說的有道理，尊重她的決定，讓我這樣吧。

謝謝你不辭勞苦，為我聯繫 Romie San, Yukari san。

不客氣，舉手之勞！

你好！ 白玉糰子你沒放冰箱裡了嗎？
時間比較短的話沒問題，可是時間一長，白玉就變得硬，沒有彈性了。

去年在SD上也流行過豆腐白玉，是代替水使用嫩豆腐的。據說豆腐白玉放在冰箱裡也不會變硬。我也做過一次，味道上好像和普通的白玉糰子沒有什麼差異。

你也可以在SD上搜索 "豆腐白玉"呢～！😊

I think your 白玉 is perfect job with having slightly transparency👍✨
Although I can't understand Chinese,but Machiko san seemes mentioning good method(?)
I'll leave it up to her😊😋

ゆかりさん、Rickさんが白玉の出来にイマイチ不満そうで次は高級な白玉粉を買うと言ってたので、冷蔵庫に長く入れて固くなったのでは？と言いましたよ。
それと去年SDで流行ってた豆腐白玉だと固くならないらしいと言いましたよ〜(^｡^)

原來是這樣,放在冰箱太久的白玉團子會變硬，我會留意的！
豆腐白玉最初有點難想像的，兩種東西好像不好混起來，但看過後也覺得不錯的，不知用豆乳如何，有機會會一試！謝謝介紹！
也謝謝為我向Yukari解釋！

Ok,I see,白玉団子needs to be slightly transparent,thank you for letting me know.Yes,Machiko San also sharing some tips with me too,I see she is explaining to you too,I will leave it to her as well!😊

おはようございます😊
す、すいません💦わざわざ書かせてしまって🙏🙏
ありがとう〜😊🙏
まちこさん良い週末を💕

Hello rikky,having a good Sunday?
So,we enjoyed dinner last night with Yukari n Michako♪
we talked about you to Michako how ausome you are!!😊
I'm impressed yet every time seeing this pic,and reminds me the wonderful time with you n Yukari!
I've never imagined that you arranged Kakigori using ほうじ茶!!!

I wanna try too!
Really really perfect practical use of ほうじ茶!I'm happy you like this tea.Me too I was surprised the same selection with Yukari😳
Hey,you live in HK?!In fact don't you live near us?😁✨
Thank you for serving cup n mini plate in the middle of the table,so cool😭👏I picked another cup first,

first,but it was different from your style,so when you looked at this cup n said'It's my style!!'..I was super glad n happy to pick this💕It does not interfere with your cool atmosphere,I'm relieved😌✨
So thank you so much for sharing us such a memorable post!!!
I saved this pic in my album😁✨

不客氣。(^-^)
代替水用豆腐和白玉粉，聽起來覺得奇怪，但做起來不怎麼難。用豆乳的話有沒有防止硬化的效果，我不知道。
據說作為傳統的方法，放些糖也可以。可是自然味道變甜的。

Romie san 也提到，我也一直在乎這些餐具。茶杯上畫的是鳥居和鹿？ 這說不定是「春日繪」？ 多麼好看！

Hi there!I usually work on Sunday,my day off is today,finally I could sit down and write something...I heard you girls were having a little party,you have no idea how much I want to be there!Thanks for being so kind,but I am just an average man, have to say you are giving the wrong impression to Mic

Michako San😁!Means so much to me you like this post,I thought hard how I could do with this tea,and kakigori came up,it suited the weather,and reminisced the desserts me and Yukari had in Uji.It was the first proper kakigori that I made,the houjicha works brilliantly,you know it's the perfect gift,a

and so good I get a double portion too,I love houjicha and this one is definitely much better than what I usually buy!Yep,in fact I live in HK,but I try to absorb as many good things as I could from Japan,so I could reproduce at home!
You really picked the perfect cup for me,I don't need to explain,

do I?You could see how well it goes with everything else here!But it's also very unique too,I could never find this else where(just found out it's called 春日絵,awesome!)So a big thank you for all the goodies,and wonderful memories that had given me,they will be for me to treasure for a long time comin

coming!And yay✌️,this photo made it to Romi's camera roll!!

太好了，你也留意到 Romi 送給我的杯子，她沒有說，但應該就是你所講的'春日絵'，跟奈良的春日大社有些關係吧。
後面還有一大堆Yukari 送的奈良特產，全部也是精品，實在很有意思的禮物來的！
看來Machiko 也對陶器有點認識！

對！ 奈良有很多精彩的特產！ 而且 Romie san、Yukari san 挑的，肯定特別好！

我蠻喜歡看陶器，可是只有初步的瞭解而已⋯ (´ー｀)

Good morning rikk!!
Sorry I've forgot you worked on Sundays🙈
Surely you're the special man for us🙉the average score is too high😉
Wow amazing that you understand 春日絵!!!Yes,it is idyllic taste,isn't it?
Thank you rikk,n have a nice day!

That's alright,Romi,after eight years,my clients still think my dayoff is on Sunday...
'Average score too high',I am flattered...thanks!I promise I'll keep the score high😁 for you awesome ladies!
Japanese ceramic is an important subject to study,always happy to know more,thanks again for the enlight

enlightenment !Have a nice day too!

rikkたん✨すっご〜ぃ❗️
Japanese stile かき氷、rikkたん自分で作ったの❓😍和の心有り過ぎでしょ〜🍨🍧素敵なgirlsとの日々がきっときっと物凄く楽しかったのだろうなぁ〜とこちらまで嬉しくなります😃素敵なpostの数々ありがとぅ😊💚んで、公園にゴロンしてるrikkたんの写真良い❗️奈良公園なのかしら❓😃

Hello,Mariko San,nice to hear from you!
Haha,I made this myself,with a hand crank machine.You see,they gave me the same gift which is houjicha,I thought I could impress them with a kakigori made with it,many girls like it,Yukari would be specially happy too because we had similar thing in Uji.Now I

am in love with Japanese style kakigori too,I've been trying different flavors for days!
Glad you like the photo,actually Yukari took it for me,it's Nara park and I love it,so big and peaceful,and I get a big piece of grass just by myself!
Thank you for all resnaps!
