About

Biting into one of these is a sensory journey: first the chewy skin of the mochi, then the velvety red bean paste and finally the fresh, juicy strawberry flesh. You can, of course, use whatever fruit you prefer. The matcha adds a lovely bitter note that complements the sweetness of the red bean paste and strawberries, but you can leave it out if you don’t have any.
