Well, Girls' Day is over, but luckily the local 7/11 still had some Sakura Mochi. Mochi is generally translated as "rice ball". Rice is pounded and sweetened to make a sweet called mochi. Most mochi (including the ones pictured above) contain anko, or, sweet red bean paste. Sakura Mochi (the pink mochi with the green cherry-tree leaf) is a special sweet eaten only on (or around) Girls' Day.
I love sakura mochi, and thought I'd lost my chance for this year, as Girls' Day has come and gone already!
