Sweets in Early Spring

I would like to introduce you two types of Sakura Mochi 櫻餅, both of which are very popular and you can get them anywhere.
Red bean jam is wrapped with baked wheat skin. A cherry leaf is salted. It's edible.

The jam is wrapped with steamed sticky rice. You can enjoy a chewy texture.
The delightful scent of the cherry leaf and the rich sweetness of the bean jam tell people the arrival of the spring.

 This bean jam is white.

Waiting for the Arrival of Spring

Cold air has been covering our area. Every afternoon we have strong winds. The highest temperature is around 10℃.
Adonis ramosa

Narcissus leaves grew well due to warm days in last December.
Chimonanthus praecox  蠟梅
Comparing with yellow dandelion, white one may have stronger cold resistance. 
Stay warm and enjoy February.
