This is a box of sakura mochi, a gift from my boss.

Mochi are sweet cakes made from pounded rice. They are sticky to eat and usually very sweet.

Springtime is the season when the Japanese cherry blossoms bloom, so many foods have this flavour.

This was a high quality set, so they tasted delicious with green tea.

Each one is wrapped in cellophane printed with white flowers.

Individually presented sweets are a popular gift in Japan as they stay fresh for a long time. Also, once the food is eaten, there is no remaining mess to clutter your home.

Practical and delicious!
