Kashiwa mochi

A white mochi folded around sweet bean paste and tucked inside a broad oak leaf. Kashiwa mochi is the sweet of Children's Day on May 5, and the leaf carries the meaning: kashiwa oak leaves do not fall until new shoots grow, so they stand for parents and children and a family that carries on. Unwrap it before eating. Unlike the cherry leaf on sakura mochi, the oak leaf is only a wrapper.
