Ichigo Daifuku (Strawberry Mochi)

What's for dessert? Yea... daifuku. I made it for the first time and it was good. Daifuku or mochi is a traditional Japanese cake with different kind of filling - red bean, peanut butter, nutella, etc. Putting a whole strawberry inside a daifuku with some red bean is new to me and find it quite interesting. I got the recipe from here and video clip.

My daifuku didn't turn out to be perfect like the video clip but they were chewy and nice. It will be much better with smaller strawberries. The strawberries that I bought were kind of big so I had big daifuku. The recipe can make 6 pieces but I can only make 4 pieces. Another problem that I had was the wrapping skill. I need more practice on that.
