Wed Small amount
B: Yuzu blancmange
milk 200 tsp
Fresh cream 25 tsp

Method

Cut the yuzu in half horizontally, remove the seeds, and thinly slice (reserve a few slices for garnishing).

Put ❶, granulated sugar (measured 1/2 of ❶), and water into a pot and heat. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has melted and the water has come out from the fruit, then lower the heat to a simmer, cover with a paper lid, and simmer for about an hour. Once this cools down, [A] is completed.

Boil milk and fresh cream in a pot, add granulated sugar and yuzu powder, add gelatin and dissolve well.

Place ❸ in a bowl and stir over ice water to cool. Once it has cooled down enough, add whipped cream and mix. Pour this into glasses for the number of pieces and chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to complete [B].

Boil white wine and water in a pot, add granulated sugar and yuzu powder, and dissolve gelatin in it.

Filter ❺ through a fine mesh, put it in a bowl and cool it well on ice water to complete [C].

Pour [C] on top of [B] and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

Add [A] and yuzu slices to ❼ and it's done!
