My name is Moko, a mother of three who admired my mother and worked in the care industry as a care worker and as a medical social worker (MSW) in a hospital. I will be drawing on my previous experience to write mainly about caregiving. Thank you in advance.

I’ve been working as a certified care worker for 17 years. I’m Nanaka, a caregiving web writer. I decided to pursue this profession because I wanted a job that would help people. Having worked in day care for many years, I’ve experienced a wide variety of recreational activities. Exercise set to music, in particular, always created a cheerful atmosphere and was very well received. I’d be delighted to continue delivering writing that resonates with readers through caregiving-related articles. Thank you for your support.

The time it takes to chill and set yokan in the refrigerator, the moment you add toppings like fruit, the aroma of steam rising from the steamer.

As hands stay busy, conversation flows, and the joy of savoring the finished treat is truly special.

This is a super simple way to make round chocolates.

The idea uses the popular snack “Choco Pie.” First, put it in a bowl and mash it with a fork while mixing.

Next, add milk, and when it turns sticky, shape it into balls.

You’ll have little round chocolates.

Then, sprinkle on toppings or decorate as you like.

You can also change up the flavor with whipped cream or cocoa powder.

Since there’s no cooking involved, it’s easy and hassle-free to try.
