A discussion of recent search trends
Looking at the trends for February 18, 2026, there is a great deal of momentum for celebrating traditional Asian culture, as symbolized by the No. 1 ranking, “Lunar New Year. In addition, the dynamic of athletes on ice and snow, such as the figure skaters “Riku Ryu Pair” and “Ami Nakai” and the snowboarding event at the Winter Olympics, attracted attention, and the yearning for the “bond” and “silvery world” they symbolize can also be read. At the same time, there is an abundance of topics that remind us of deepening stories and new beginnings, such as the popular anime “The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom” and news of the graduation of long-time familiar “Azuki Onee-san”. Against this backdrop, we believe that today’s readers are looking for “Asian tradition x modern arrangement,” “pure white visuals” that remind them of snow, and “shared sweets that strengthen bonds” that can be shared by families and pairs. In particular, there is likely to be increased interest in lucky ingredients associated with the Chinese New Year and nuts as a source of energy that look great in winter sports scenes.

material
| Material name | amount |
|---|---|
| Pancake mix (HM) | 200g |
| unsalted butter, chilled | 50g |
| Milk (or soy milk) | 50ml |
| rice cakes cut into rectangles (usu. eaten on New Year’s Da) | one (object) |
| Ogura-an (tsubu-an) | 100g |
| Strawberry (medium size) | 4-6 pieces |
| Flour for beating flour | proper quantity |
way of making
- Prologue: Encounter with Dough
Place HM in a bowl and add cold butter cut into 1 cm cubes. Rub the butter together with your fingertips while crushing it with the flour to make a sandy, sand-like consistency (sabrage). When the aroma of butter rises in the air, it is ready. - Spinning Bonds: Forming Fabrics
Add the milk a little at a time and mix gently with a spatula. When the mixture is still a little powdery, turn it out onto a table and knead it lightly to bring it together. Roll out the dough with a rolling pin to a thickness of 2 cm, and then use a mold of your choice or the rim of a cup to cut out the dough. - Magical heating: to the oven
Bake in a preheated oven at 180℃ until the surface is golden brown, about 15 to 20 minutes. The aroma of the “crunch” you can almost hear after baking will fill your kitchen. - Surprise trick: preparation of melt-in-your-mouth rice cakes
While baking, cut rice cake slices into 1 cm cubes, place in a heatproof container, and sprinkle with water (1 tsp. not included in the quantity). Cover with plastic wrap and microwave (600W) for 30-40 seconds until the rice cake is puffed up and softened by kneading with a spoon. - Emotional finale: The Sand Ceremony
Split the scone in half horizontally after removing the rough heat. Spread a generous amount of “Ogura-an” on the bottom half, and spread a thin layer of “soft mochi” on top. Place a whole bright red “strawberry” on top, and gently press the scone on top to complete the Daifuku sandwich filled with overflowing gratitude!
Point: Here is the secret to good taste! Do not over-knead the scone dough. Leaving a few grains of butter in the dough creates the best texture: crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. Also, by sandwiching the rice cake while it is still warm, the strawberry and sweet bean paste will become one with the rice cake.
