Ttea time!
Sakura mochi
Cherry blossom(Sakura) now in season.
While enjoying beautiful Sakura outside, we made Sakura mochi this month.
We have two types of Sakura mochi from West and East.
In West, Domyoji ko (dried sweet rice) is used to make mochi, and in East (Kanto regeion), it is crape style.
Some arrangements were made on crape. Isn’t that pretty with flower pattern?
Let’s enjoy both East and West style of Sakura mochi.
