It's one of the most fundamental ingredient for my cooking. That's not only for me. It's essential for cooking many japanese food.
I started to wonder if it is necessary to have expensive ingredients, complex flavoring, and elaborate cooking in order to make a nice dish. Are they affluent meal? 
I came feel that there are affluence in took care invisible part of food for example, salt, water and condiments in daily meal.

MAIDAMA(舞玉)

This is not used as food.
This is used to stick with a willow wand to pray for good harvests  at Chinese New Year .
Originally it's made by mochi(rice cakes).





Like this illustrations.







Maidama is made by sticky rice or starch. So it can be glued with water.
