😋SAKURAMOCHI🌸

It's that most wonderful time of the year...'sakuramochi' (桜餅) in abundance🙌

'Sakuramochi' (桜餅) begin appearing in stores around the time of Hina Matsuri (雛祭り "Doll's Day" - March 3rd) and are eaten throughout the spring.

Sakuramochi is one of the most anticipated sweets of spring, arriving just before the cherry blossoms appear.

Sakuramochi comes in a few different varieties, but the most common in Kansai is a sticky sweet of rice dough covering a ball of bean paste. It is served wrapped in a sakura leaf.

Many stores dye the sticky rice dough pink in celebration of the cherry blossoms.

The leaves sandwiching the sticky mochi can also be eaten, giving the confection a slightly salty sweet flavour.
