Mugwort has long been cherished as a spring wild herb, and kusamochi made with freshly picked young leaves is a classic Japanese sweet that evokes the arrival of the season. This piece features chewy mugwort mochi coated in a gently sweet chunky bean paste. The refreshing aroma of mugwort and the rich sweetness of the bean paste harmonize in your mouth. It is a seasonal Kyoto rice cake perfect for accompanying tea.
