A discussion of recent search trends
Search trends of March show a mix of cultural interests, such as the mathematical “Pi Day” and “Japan Academy Awards,” and serious news, such as Honda’s business trends, mynah insurance cards, and international affairs (Venezuela, North Korean missiles). These suggest social uncertainty and change, and it seems that people today are looking for “certain healing” and “quest for knowledge” in their daily lives. In particular, the interest in Pi Day is a sign of a positive attitude toward incorporating a little intellectual entertainment into the daily routine. With the spring weather, we may need a moment to balance our minds with a little special homemade sweet.

way of making
Process 1: Preparation for bringing out the aroma] Chop the chocolate board finely with a knife. Careful chopping so that the cross section is nicely aligned is an important ritual to make the mouth feel uniform.
Process 2: The Magic of the Heat Source] Place the cream in a small saucepan and heat over low heat. Immediately remove from heat when small bubbles appear around the edges. The trick is to keep the temperature at a level that allows the chocolate to melt easily without boiling.
Pour the warm cream into the bowl with the chocolate, wait 1 minute, and mix slowly in a circular motion with a rubber spatula. The key is to mix carefully from the bottom to avoid air bubbles.
When the mixture is smooth, add the room temperature butter and mix until the whole mixture is glossy. Add 1 teaspoon of matcha powder to the mixture to give it a beautiful green color.
Process 5: Cooling of Silence] Pour the mixture into a flat bat and refrigerate for 2 hours to slowly cool and harden. The time it takes to cool and harden is exactly the same as the time it takes for a forest in a national park to remain quiet.
Process 6: Adventures in Finishing: Scoop the hardened ganache with a spoon and quickly roll it up in the palm of your hand. Work quickly so that it does not melt at body temperature.
Process 7: Spring Dressing] Finally, a thin dusting of matcha powder completes the truffles, which look like jewels.
This is the secret to the delicious taste! Key Points
The biggest secrets are temperature control and air. If the cream is too hot, the oils in the chocolate will separate and make it less palatable. Also, if you whisk vigorously when mixing, air will enter the mixture and the smooth texture will be compromised. Simply use a rubber spatula to gently trace the inside of the bowl to create a surprisingly authentic mouthfeel.
Truffles made today should be stored in the refrigerator and consumed within 3 days. Enjoy them with a cup of warm hojicha or sencha tea and relax on a spring afternoon. Please look forward to the next recipe!
