Kaori’s Easy Recipe: Learn How to Make “Pompompurin Steamed Cheese Bread”

24.November.2018 | FEATURES / FOOD

With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s easy recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish.

In this character recipe you will learn how to make a “Pompompurin Steamed  Cheese Bread” (labeled CHEESE STEAM UP BREAD).

Did you know that recently decorating a “steamed cheese bread” is the in thing to be doing right now? So, in this recipe I will explain about how to decorate a steamed cheese bread in a Christmas fashion.

 

1:Ingredients

1 steamed cheese bread

1 sheet of nori (dried seaweed)

Chocolate plastic

Red coloring powder

 

2:

Trace an illustration of your favorite character onto a baking sheet. I chose Pompompurin. Next, I thought it would be cute to indent the face and highlight the ears so I cut out these parts from the baking sheet.

3:

Next, place the face cutout onto the surface of the cheese bread and cut the bread in line with the cutout. Remove this part and set it aside. This part will be used to make the ears and hands. The surface below the removed part might be a bit uneven so using the back end of a chopstick make this area flat.

4:

Turn over the removed part and flatten this surface using the back end of a chopstick. Place the ear cutout onto the surface and cut the ears out. Using the remaining part cut out some round hands.

5:Color the plastic chocolate red and form the hat and boots. Using the white plastic chocolate, add the white parts. Using a puncher, cut out the eyes, nose and mouth from the laver seaweed.

Place all of these parts on the surface of the cheese bread, and voila, your “Pompompurin Steamed Cheese Bread” is complete.

  • Kaori’s Easy Recipe: How to Make Winnie the Pooh Cheesecake

    21.October.2018 | FEATURES / FOOD

    With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s easy recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish.

     

    I’ve received lots of comments from my followers asking if I have an easier recipe they can make without messing anything up. So today I’m showing you my simple Winnie the Pooh cheesecake recipe using items bought from Muji!

     

    1: Ingredients/Equipment

    ・①Muji’s baked cheesecake mix (above right) ②Muji’s Thick-Sliced Baumkuchen (above left)

    ・Eggs, milk and unsalted butter needed for the baked cheesecake

    ・Cake mould (There was a paper mould inside the cheesecake mix box but I got myself 4 smaller ones)

    ・Round cutter for the ears

    ・Chocolate pen for the face

     

    2. Put together all the necessary ingredients written on the back of the baked cheesecake mix box into a bowl. Mix together and cook.

    3. Once your cakes are cooked, add the apricot jam that comes in the box as shown in the photograph and use the back of a spoon to spread it out. (Don’t worry if there are cracks in the cakes when cooking. Once you put the jam on it’ll look just like Pooh’s face.)

     

    Slice the brown outer part of your thick-sliced Baumkuchen and shape into ears with your cutter. (If you don’t have a round cutter then scissors or any other cutters will work fine.)

     

    Drawn on Pooh’s facial features with your chocolate pen and you’re done!

    The jam makes the face viscous so it’s nice and easy to draw the face on even for beginners. If you mess up, just wake a short while for the chocolate to harden and take it off. If that happens just smooth out the jam once more with the back of a spoon so there aren’t any peaks and try again!

  • Kaori’s Easy Recipe: Learn to Make Kiirotori Cup Sushi

    07.October.2018 | FEATURES / FOOD

    With just a small bit of ingenuity, turn everyday food into something cute using Kaori’s easy recipe! With a few simple ideas, an ordinary recipe magically transforms into a cute dish.

     

    Today, you’ll learn how to make Kiirotori Cup Sushi. Kiirotori is a small yellow bird who is often seen with Rilakkuma.

    1.
    Ingredients
    ★Transparent cups (the ones I used are from Daiso)
    ★Sumeshi (vinegared sushi rice)
    ★Ground sesame seeds, furikake seasoning (I used Decofuri’s orange and purple seasoning)
    ★Thick omelette
    ★Fresh fish of your choice

     

    2.
    Divide three portions of vinegared sushi rice and mix one each with the ground sesame seeds and Decofuri seasonings. Mix the Decofuri orange seasoning with some flying fish roe (tobikko) too.

     

    3.
    Create three layers of rice from step 2 in your transparent cups as shown above.

     

    4.
    Pile fresh fish of your choice onto the cups.

     

    5.
    Slice the thick omelette. I sliced mine into a Kiirotori shape but you can make whatever you like.

    Place your character omelette on top of your rice next to the fish. I was making Halloween themed sushi this time so I dressed it up with Halloween toothpicks and other decorations♡

  • Report: Kyary Pamyu Pamyu’s Tasty Time in Gastropolis Kobe – Sweets Edition

    03.December.2022 | FEATURES / FOOD / SPOT

    Kobe is filled with famous sightseeing spots like the nostalgic Ijinkan neighborhood and port. The city is packed with fashionable shops and restaurants and is highly regarded for its selection of tasty sweets!

    The port city, with over 150 years of history, has fostered a unique and diverse culinary culture.

     

    Recently, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu began starring in a series of promotional videos for the Gastropolis Kobe project. The artist traveled to the city to partake in plenty of delicious treats, and MOSHI MOSHI NIPPON went along for the ride! Here are some of the singer’s favorite spots around town.

    Kobe, known as a city where East meets West, is lined with sweets shops that are unique to the area.

     

    The tea salon TOOTH TOOTH Dekoboko Sabo opened in 2019 in the Kobe City Museum and offers a menu that mixes Western food and sweets with tea and ingredients from traditional Japanese cuisine. Kyary ordered the Dekoboko Sabo Afternoon Tea Set, a collection of western sweets blended with the essence of traditional Japanese flavors. Guests are invited to enjoy their tea and sweets in a one-of-a-kind space filled with Meiji period flare and retro Western furniture. Those interested will need to make a reservation, so be sure to remember the next time you’re in Kobe.

     

    TOOTH TOOTH Decoboco Sabo

    Address: 24 Kyomachi, Chuo Ward, Kobe (Inside the Kobe City Museum)

    Hours: 9:30-17:30 (Last Order at 16:30) 

    Closed Mondays

    Official Site: https://toothtooth.com/restaurant/decoboco-sabo

    The next stop was Kobe Nankin-machi, one of the three major Chinatowns in Japan. Kobe MILK is known nationwide for its Apricot Pudding, which is made with local ingredients. The raw apricot pudding is mixed with milk brought from the foot of Mt. Rokko and other ingredients from Hyogo Prefecture. Of course, Kyary ordered some, and was amazed by its fluffy texture. You can only enjoy it in Kobe–also, the shop sells other puddings mixed with seasonal fruits, so don’t miss those either!

     

    Kobe MILK

    Address: Shin-Motomachi Building 1F (1 Motomachi-dori, Chuo-ku, Kobe)

    Hours: Weekdays 9:30-19:00 / Weekends 9:30-19:30

    Official Site: https://kobe-milk.com

    For Kyary’s final stop, the singer visited the Moore House, a cafe located in a building with over 100 years of history. Guests are surrounded by greenery, and the Western-style building is incredibly elegant. The Strawberry Mille-feuille Kyary ordered was created by an expert patissier and based on the strawberry mille-feuille recipe from the legendary French restaurant Maxim’s de Paris in Ginza. A generous amount of custard cream complements the crispy pie crust and enhances the sweetness of the fresh strawberries. We’d recommend it with a glass of champagne–if you’re of age.

    Kitano Ijin-kan Moore House

    Address: 2-9-3 Kitanocho, Chuo-ku, Kobe

    Hours: 11:00-17:00

    Closed Tuesdays

    The streets of Kobe are packed with sweets that you can only enjoy if you visit. Why not come experience these incredible spots like Kyary did?

Miharu then begins working at Santa Claus House, a mysterious company at the North Pole that delivers gifts to children around the world.

     

    Comment from Eve

    “I’m incredibly honored because I loved both the original manga and Fukuda’s past works. I wrote this song Shirayuki with the hope that Christmas could be an important day for everyone. I would be so glad if this song makes you nostalgic for winter, making you imagine the cold air that stings your nose and the stars in the clear night sky. I love Kunehito, so I am looking forward to seeing him in the film.”
