随着圣诞节临近，一款新食谱将日本传统新年饮品 o-toso 的风味融入抹茶蛋糕。这种甜点融合了类似 o-toso 和经典圣诞点心的药用草本与香料，提供健康益处并带来节日欢庆。
日本最接近热红酒的饮品很可能就是 o-toso，这是一种用香料、草本和干果浸泡的清酒，有时用蜂蜜轻微甜化。它传统上在元旦庆祝活动中作为祝愿健康与长寿的干杯饮品。
o-toso 的配方各异，但通常包含一种药用草本混合，与该饮品的健康声誉相符。常见香料包括山椒（sanshō，即四川花椒），以改善血液循环；红花（benihana，即 Carthamus），对抗炎症；以及茴香，帮助消化。
该食谱使用 o-toso 的风味来调味抹茶茶蛋糕。其药用香料混合也呼应了传统圣诞蛋糕中的元素：丁香支持肝功能，干姜缓解疲劳肌肉，肉桂有益心脏健康，以及干蜜柑橘皮粉降低胆固醇。
这款蛋糕作为传统圣诞甜点的日本风味替代品，将肉桂与丁香的香气融入抹茶。
