The rainy season is just around the corner.
Today’s recipe is a refreshing dessert that lets you enjoy the flavor of ume at its peak in June!

- 25 g granulated sugar
- Mint (for garnish)
1.Cut the leftover ume and mash into a paste with a knife. (Remove the skin if it remains.)
2.Soak the gelatin in water (according to the amount indicated on the package).
3.In a heatproof bowl, combine fresh cream and granulated sugar. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 1 minute.
4.Stir until the sugar dissolves, then add the soaked gelatin and yogurt. Mix well.
