Dear Beautiful
I hope you are doing great!! What is your favorite sweet/dessert? Do you have any? I would love to hear from you.
When I came to Japan, my sweet world opened up to a whole new level. So many sweets/cakes/desserts that I never had seen before. It was so amazing and enormous at the same time. One of my favorite desserts is Cherry Blossom Sweet Rice Cake. In Japanese it is called Sakura Mochi, 桜餅 (さくらもち).
Sakura mochi is made of sweet glutinous rice and filled with a sweet red bean paste. It is wrapped in a pickled sakura leaf which is edible. Sakura mochi is traditionally enjoyed during Hinamatsuri (Japanese Girl’s Day) to celebrate the beginning of spring, and to pray for the health and happiness of all little girls.
Sakura mochi is pink, just like sakura (cherry blossom flowers). It looks so lovely and sweet.
With Cherry Blossom Love from
