Do you think they're done boiling now?

Probably. You can open the lid and have a look.

Okay. Here goes nothing.

Harasho! It smells amazing!

Looks like we're getting there! Let's check how soft our sweet little red beans are to see if they're done.

Mm-hmm, seems good. You try one too, Eli.

*Blow* Mmm, nice and soft. They've gotten tender enough to flatten with my fingers.

That's perfect then. Make sure you remember that.

Got it.

You know, I had no idea making sweet red bean paste was this easy.

Right? I guess it has this image of being complicated, but you can make it yourself just like this!

Alisa's not going to believe her eyes.

She probably won't even believe we made it ourselves.

*Giggle* I always find myself thinking of the people I care about most when I'm cooking too.

You really love Alisa, don't you Eli?

She's my precious little sister.

I know exactly how you feel! I love, love, love Haruka to the moon and back!

Now that you mention it, we both have little sisters, don't we?

And we both love them lots and lots.

Now let's make some yummy Japanese sweets for our sweet little sisters!

You bet. We've got to finish strong!
