Japanese Sweet - Sakura Mochi


This is a seasonal Japanese sweet. It is wrapped with a cherry blossom leave which has a very distinctive aroma. It is the height of the cherry blossom (Sakura) season in Tokyo around this time of the year. People enjoy picnics under beautiful blooming cherry trees (called "Ohanami") bringing lots of goodies to eat and sake to drink.
