A discussion of recent search trends
Sports topics, such as professional baseball’s heated exchange games and Otani’s moves, topped the May 21, 2026 trends, with fans cheering enthusiastically for their favorite players. At the same time, interest in costs directly related to daily life, such as “postal rate hikes” and “Switch2 price hikes,” was extremely high, and awareness of the need to make smart choices is growing. Unraveling these contradictory yet coexisting trends of “enthusiasm” and “saving and ingenuity,” we can consider the growing demand for “special homemade sweets that can be enjoyed easily” that combine a little color in daily life with cost-effectiveness.

way of making
Step 1: Prepare the bean jam. Wash the strawberries lightly, carefully remove the hefty part, and wipe off the water completely with kitchen paper. Divide the bean paste into 6 equal portions, spread them out roundly with the palm of your hand, and then wrap the strawberries around them to form a drop shape. This will be the “heart” of the daifuku.
In a heatproof bowl, combine the white bean flour and sugar, then add the water a little at a time, mixing smoothly with a whisk until there are no lumps. The key is to mix carefully until the powderiness disappears and the mixture becomes thick and creamy.
Cover the bowl with fluffy plastic wrap and microwave at 600W for 2 minutes. Remove the bowl and knead the whole mixture vigorously with a wet wooden spatula or rubber spatula. It is okay if there are still some white powdery parts. This is where the “stickiness” is brought out.
Put the plastic wrap back on again and heat the dough for 1 minute at 600W this time. If the dough becomes translucent, chewy, and elastic, it has been successfully cooked. If there are still some whitish parts, add more 20 seconds at a time, keeping an eye on it.
Step 5: Finish] Take the dough out onto a starch-floured baking pan and divide it into 6 equal portions. While still hot, gently spread out the dough, place the previously made anko wrapped strawberry in the center, and wrap it up by pulling the edges of the dough inward. This is the moment when the beautiful contrast of red and white appears!
This is the secret to the delicious taste! Key Points
The biggest hassle-free point is “heating and kneading in the microwave. When the dough is heated, kneading it thoroughly with a wooden spatula will cause the starch in the white bean flour to alpha-alpha-ize, creating a chewy texture that will not become hard the next day. Also, wiping off the water from the strawberries thoroughly is the secret to the dough not becoming sticky even after a long time.
Examples of mistakes we tend to make
Failure 1: Forgetting to wipe off the water from the strawberries] If you wrap the strawberries as they are after washing them, the water will seep out over time and the dough will melt into a sludge, resulting in “strawberry soup Daifuku”. The iron rule is to drain off the water perfectly with kitchen paper.
If the dough is still white when it is wrapped, it will remain powdery and lacks crispiness. Make sure to cook the dough thoroughly until the entire surface is glossy and translucent.
At the end.
Thank you for reading to the end. Please enjoy the finished Daifuku with your favorite beverage. If you refrigerate it too long, the dough will become hard, so please try to enjoy it “freshly made” within a few hours of making it!
