Easy Sakura Mochi | Japanese Home Cooking #Shorts
Today we're making Sakura Mochi—a chewy, light pink glutinous rice ball filled with sweet red bean paste and wrapped in a fragrant, salt-pickled cherry blossom leaf.
On the Menu:
✔️ The Prep: Rinsing glutinous rice and tinting it a soft pastel pink.
✔️ The Fill: Smooth sweet red bean paste shaped and tucked inside each mochi ball.
✔️ The Finish: Wrapping each piece in a delicate pickled sakura leaf for that iconic salty-sweet bite.
A beloved springtime wagashi in Japan, Sakura Mochi is traditionally enjoyed for Girls' Day and cherry blossom season—beautiful to make, even more beautiful to share.
