This is a repost from cake decorating that was taken down because it wasn't considered a cake, and that's alright.
During sakura festival season in the spring I make a variety of mochi confections, including wagashi. Wagashi can refer to many types of mochi and cake like japanese confections that are small, considered an elevated style of japanese candy making usually served with a cup of hot green tea.
This is my third attempt in making this style of japanese mochi cakes and will continue to practice making them. Enjoy!
