Never fails to satisfy one’s need to refresh in this suffocating heat.

As great a dessert as one should expect on a hot day.

They rock as much as they look like moss covered rocks. 🍀 #brackenfern

Store-bought and excellent. Refreshing on a searingly hot day.

Sweetened gelatinous blobs of goodness perfectly balanced with kinako and matcha powder. I didn’t know warabimochi could be packaged like that? Who knew I’d be able to prepare this at home??

A Tokuya specialty, and essentially what I came for. Their warabimochi is made with a high quality domestically-produced warabi (bracken starch) powder. Served with kuromitsu (black sugar syrup) and kinako (roasted soybean flour). At some point in the menu description, Wasanbon sugar (fine-grained Japanese sugar used in wagashi) was mentioned, but I’m not sure if it made an appearance in the warabi mochi or in the kuromitsu. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This was really refreshing.

Coated with kinako (roasted soy flour). The warabimochi itself is a bit too sweet for me, so it’s going to be green tea version from here on out.
