Sift Joshinko and fine granulated sugar together into a large bowl to ensure a smooth, lump-free mixture.

Divide the sifted Joshinko and fine granulated sugar mixture into three equal portions in separate bowls.

To the first portion, gradually add water, a few drops at a time, mixing with your fingertips until the mixture resembles wet sand and holds its shape when gently squeezed. Be careful not to add too much water; the mixture should be just moist enough to hold together.
