Kashiwa-mochi

Kashiwa mochi season has come. It is typical sweets for Children's day, 5th of May. Rice cake is wrapped in a Kashiwa (a kind of oak?) leaf.
Inside the leaf is like this. Green one is yomogi (a kind of herb) flavor.
It is like standard rule that green one is with tsubu-an (mashed red-bean jam),
white one is with koshi-an (smooth red-beans jam), and
pink one is with miso-an (soy-bean paste jam). I have no miso-an today, though.
