★About Smilax glabra★
It has been used as a food ingredient since ancient times in the Kansai region and south of Shikoku, wrapped around mochi and other foods, and grows wild in the satoyama (rural landscape).
It is said that Smilax glabra is used in many Kashiwa mochi made in western Japan.

Why not try making dumplings or manju wrapped in Smilax glabra leaves?

*Example Recipe*
① Mix and knead joshinko (raw rice flour) and water until it reaches a soft, earlobe-like consistency, then steam it.
② While steaming, wrap the steamed dough around pre-rolled bean paste. Shape it and wrap it with Smilax glabra leaves.
③ Steam again in a steamer (for about 15 minutes).
④ Remove, cool, and it's ready.
