English Name: Traditional Japanese Confectionery - Oak Leaf Rice-Mochi

     Kashiwa mochi (柏糯), are a rice cake (sometimes even flavoured with mugwort) filled with a sweet bean paste and wrapped in a single pickled oak (kashiwa) leaf. They represent strength, longevity and good fortune as the oak leaves do not fall off the tree until the new shoots begin to grow.
