Kansai-style sakuramochi
Sakuramochi (桜餅) is a Japanese confection (wagashi) consisting of sweet, pink-colored rice cake (mochi) with red bean paste (anko) filling, wrapped in a pickled cherry blossom (sakura) leaf, which may or may not be eaten depending on individual preference.
Traditionally, the sweet is eaten during the spring season,[1][2] especially at the annual Hinamatsuri celebration on March 3 and flower viewing (hanami) parties.[3][4][5]
