Kashiwa Mochi!


A classic Japanese wagashi for Children’s Day (May 5th) 🍃 – dating back to the Edo period and carried on as a staple tradition.

Chewy white mochi filled with sweet red bean paste (anko), wrapped in fragrant kashiwa (oak) leaves.

I personally love the version with miso anko (miso-flavored bean paste filling) the most – it has this perfect sweet-salty balance that’s so addictive!
