      You can use both. It is best to add them in little bits so as not to overdo it
      But I think the vinegar is more potent than the lemon and gives a quicker result

      Skimmed milk doesn't have fat, the milk fat and solid is what makes the wagashi which skimmed milk cannot give you. So full fat milk is the best.

      Wagashi is usually made out of fresh milk straight from the cow and since the process involves boiling (pasteurization) fresh full fat milk is the best however, if you don't have that, you can used the pasteurized milk

      @davidwalden2887 2 роки тому

      I find that very hard to believe. Pasteurising is raising the temperatire of milk and then quickly cooling it to just above freezing. Gets rid of the buggs. Millions of native in 3rd world countries all over the world use similar proceesing methods to create cream cheese, then modify it to sell as mature cheese, a bit like icecream for them. Been around a long time????
