Castella ball

[Elderly Recreation] Rec Craftsman Series Part 10: 'Castella Balls'

A simple, easy-to-understand treat made by coating a ball of sweet red bean paste with finely cut castella cake.

First, prepare the castella cut into small dice and the bean paste squeezed from a tube and rolled into balls.

Then coat the bean paste with the castella and gently press to bring it together—that’s it.

The key is applying just the right amount of pressure so the whole piece holds its shape while keeping the castella soft.

Since the flavors of bean paste and castella are straightforward, it might also be nice to think about toppings to serve alongside.

Fruit roll sandwich

snack making

A simple fruit sandwich made with a bread roll—the compact, easy-to-eat size is part of the appeal.

First, cut a slit down the middle of the roll and fill it with whipped cream.

Then, press thinly sliced fruit onto the sides of the whipped cream, and you’re done.

Since you’ll be packing in enough whipped cream to match the width of the fruit, it’s recommended to use tart fruits so the flavors are well balanced.

Keep the balance in mind so that both the colorful appearance and the taste are harmonized.

French toast

[Hanauta Day Service Shimizu] Snack Activity: Let’s Make French Toast!

Many people may think of it as a snack—or a stylish breakfast—made by soaking bread in a mixture of eggs, milk, and the like, then frying it.

If you’re trying your hand at French toast and find the measurements tricky, it’s a good idea to have someone help with the cooking step.

The aroma while it’s cooking is a key point, so you might also enhance the scent with a bit of vanilla extract to make sure they can really take it in.

Preparing a variety of toppings and letting them try different combinations while thinking about what goes well together can make it even more fun.
