“the leaf can eat?” i got this question twice consecutively by my mom & sis lol and the answer is yes that leaf CAN be eaten! *
so what did this pretty thing tasted like? i liked it actually (didn’t expect myself to 😂). the pink part had a glutinous rice texture (was expecting it to taste like mochi + rice but it’s ok i like glutinous rice too) and when eaten together with the green leaf, the sakura mochi had a mildly floral scent that i liked! so basically the leaf was actually yummy. (wait. why is it called mochi if there’s no mochi...) *
there was also red beans packed into the mochi, and the amount in it was quite generous, there was red bean in every mouthful of mochi. the red bean wasn’t too sweet so when eaten as a whole, the experience was really pleasant 😚 *
now i can’t wait to try the authentic version when i fly to japan in december 😌 SO EXCITED AHHH
