Sakura mochi

It was lovely day today. It was very worm like May and people got their thick coat off. Today's delight is Spring sweets, sakura mochi.
Anko is covered with rice cake, and it is wrapped with salted sakura (cherry) leaf.
This is also a kind of sakura mochi, but not a authentic one actually. It is inside out sakura mochi, that means sakura leaf is inside the mochi. This was also nice.
