Mochi (Tokyo, Japan)

What is it? Green tea mochi with red bean paste filling. Mochi is a sticky treat made with glutinous rice that is filled and flavored with different ingredients such as peanuts, seasame, red bean, green tea, etc.

Where to find it? Nakamise food stall around Asakusa Kannon Temple.

Thoughts... Mochi is delicious. Some people are turned off by the gooey texture, but I love it.
