On May 05, 2026, Risshatsu (first day of summer) has arrived according to the calendar, and the fresh breezes of early summer are pleasant. Today is Children’s Day, a holiday that has long been popular as Tango-no Sekku. Incidentally, eating Kashiwa Mochi (oak cakes) on this day is a wonderful cultural tradition unique to Japan, in which the oak tree, whose old leaves do not fall off until new leaves sprout, is respected as a good omen that the family lineage will not be interrupted. As spring turns to summer, the days are becoming warmer and warmer in the sunlight. On this exciting day, why don’t you expand your enjoyment of handcrafting in the kitchen?

way of making
[Process 1: Melting the chocolates] Start preheating the oven to 170°C. Line a mold with a sheet, put the chocolate and butter in a bowl, and melt them in a water bath at 50 degrees Celsius. The trick is to mix gently with a rubber spatula until shiny.
Process 2: Egg Whiteness] Put the eggs and granulated sugar in a bowl and whisk for 3 minutes. The key to a fluffy finish is to make the whole mixture white and fluffy enough to draw lines.
Process 3: The Magic of Emulsification] Pour the egg mixture into the bowl of chocolate in three separate batches. To prevent separation, add a small amount, mix, and repeat. This is the secret of the smooth texture.
Add the cocoa powder and scoop up from the bottom with a rubber spatula. Mix quickly 20 times, making sure not to erase the bubbles, as if you were writing the character “no.”
Process 5: Slow Baking] Pour into molds and bake in a 170°C oven for 30 minutes. Do not overbake! The dough should stick to a bamboo skewer a little, which is a sign of melt-in-your-mouth texture.
This is the secret to the delicious taste! Key Points
The biggest point is the “emulsification” of the chocolate and eggs. All ingredients should be brought to room temperature, as temperature differences can cause them to separate easily. In addition, choosing chocolate with at least 70% cacao will leave a special aftertaste that celebrates not only the sweetness of the sugar, but also the mellow aroma of the cacao itself.
Examples of mistakes we tend to make
Separation of chocolate and eggs:If you rush to add cold eggs to the chocolate, the chocolate will harden and separate, and the texture will be rough. Always mix slowly, a little at a time!
The overcooked problem:If you are anxious about baking the inside of the cake and exceed the baking time, the moistness of the cake will be lost and it will become dry. Use a timer to set the baking time strictly.
At the end.
After cooling, let it rest overnight in the refrigerator for a richer, more “raw chocolate” mouthfeel. It goes great with coffee and red wine. We hope you enjoy a blissful moment that is uniquely yours.
