Predict the Future! Shiitake-Style Fortune-Telling: Seisai’s Herbarium Jelly
When the ever-changing news leaves you feeling unsettled, why not retreat to the sanctuary of your kitchen and surrender to the “laws of science”? In this episode, inspired by the world of the popular shiitake mushroom fortune-telling, we’ll make a jelly that showcases beautiful transparency and overlapping colors. With each layer you create, you’ll feel your mind becoming more at peace.

How to Make It
[Step 1] Add 500 ml of water and 4 g of agar powder to a small saucepan, and mix well with a whisk. Place over medium heat; once it comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and continue boiling vigorously for “1 minute.” Thoroughly dispersing the agar molecules at this stage is the first step to preventing lumps from forming.
[Step 2] Add the granulated sugar and gently stir with a rubber spatula, scooping up from the bottom. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, turn off the heat and divide the agar base evenly among four heat-resistant containers.
[Step 3] Add 2 teaspoons each of blue, yellow, and red syrup to each container to color them (leave one container clear). Place them in the refrigerator and let them sit at room temperature for “20 minutes” until the surface sets slightly.
[Step 4] Once the surface has set enough that it feels springy to the touch, carefully place the star-shaped nata de coco and edible flowers on top using tweezers. Next, to add another layer of color, make sure the remaining liquid isn’t too hot (40 degrees or less) and slowly pour it over the top.
[Step 5] Once you’ve layered everything, chill it thoroughly in the refrigerator for “2 hours” until set. Avoiding rapid cooling and allowing it to set slowly will result in beautiful, translucent layers.
Here’s the secret to making this delicious! Key Points
The golden rule for agar is to “heat it for one minute after it comes to a boil.” If it doesn’t boil long enough, it won’t set; conversely, if you heat it too long, too much moisture will evaporate and it will become too hard. Also, when layering the mixture, a professional technique to prevent the color from becoming cloudy is to check with your finger whether the bottom layer has set, and to let the top layer cool slightly before pouring it in.
Common Mistakes People Tend to Make
The most common mistake is “rushing to layer the ingredients, causing the colors to mix.” If you hurry to pour hot liquid on top, the heat will melt the agar-agar layer below, causing the boundary between the layers to disappear. Also, if the agar-agar doesn’t set properly because it wasn’t heated enough, the result will be “sweet syrup juice” instead of a dessert.The key to success is to stay patient and wait until the jelly reaches the temperature at which its molecules set (about 30–40 degrees).
In Closing
Thank you for sticking with me until the end. The jelly you made today will keep in the refrigerator for about two days. Why not take a deep breath and admire these colorful jellies during a relaxing afternoon tea break when you’re feeling a little tired? May your tomorrow be filled with wonderful colors.
