thank you for the information and imspiration! I melted some machine pressed sake kasu I got as a parting gift from a factory tour in Aboshi (outside of Himeji) with some yuzu marmelade and made an egg custard! Have I been drinking too much, or is this oshii des?

Hello! It all sounds good. I must confess that I’ve only used sake kasu a couple of times b/c its consistency kind of scares me. But I will try it again soon!

Cheers,
Melinda

Hello Foodies, Sorry for the slow reply (again).

FFichiban, Yes, I don’t think that I have had kasu ice cream yet — I have had sake kasu ‘soft cream’, as ice milk is called here. Sake kasu chocolate I have had, and it was excellent. (I tried shochu and even shoyu chocolate this year.)

etsuko, oh, like cheese crackers? that sounds really nice! we will have to try baking with sake kasu!

diva, the texture is like cheese, not the tasteね. but yeah, sake kasu is great!!

I love SakeKasu!　and also, often use it in cooking. I baked non sugar Sake kasu cookies for my friend. It tasted like cheese crackers.
