This Kansai-style sakura mochi is made of mochi rice formed into a ball with azuki (red bean) paste inside and wrapped in picked sakura leaf. In Tokyo, you would find the red bean paste wrapped in thin pink crepe instead of rice. This sweet snack is traditionally eaten during Hanami (sakura flower viewing in April) or Hinamatsuri (Girl's day in March), welcoming the beginning of spring. The leaf is edible too! Arashiyama Bamboo Forest is a super cool sight to visit in Kyoto. As soon as you step into the forest, you can immediately feel the drop of temperature. Photos can't justify the beauty of this place! #ShotOniPhone6s A photo posted by Food & Travel ❤️ (@girleatworld) on Apr 9, 2016 at 5:58pm PDT Share This Link Copy ← Use Arrow Keys → 4 Sakura Mochi in Kyoto, Japan Previous Next Start Slideshow Travel InspirationInstagramFood NewsTravelFood Trends
