Sakura Mochi is a chewy, light pink glutinous rice ball filled with sweet red bean paste and wrapped in a salt-pickled cherry blossom leaf. In Japan, we enjoy this salty and sweet confectionery during Girls’ Day and cherry blossom viewing. The perfume of the edible cherry blossom leaf makes this springtime mochi an intoxicating treat.

Ingredients:
For the Glutinous Rice
1 rice cooker cup sweet rice/glutinous rice (mochigome) (¾ cup, 180 ml for 8 sakura mochi)
¾ cup (180 ml) water (for cooking the glutinous rice)
1 Tbsp sugar
For the Red Water
2 tsp water (no need to increase the amount if you double or triple the recipe)
red food coloring (I use powder, which is more concentrated than gel or paste; add more if you double or triple the recipe)
For the Syrup
1 Tbsp sugar (sugar-to-water ratio is 1 to 5 by weight; use this syrup for rolling the filling and shaping the mochi)
4 Tbsp water (sugar-to-water ratio of 1 to 5 by weight; use for rolling the filling and shaping the mochi)
For the Filling and Wrapping
4¼ oz (120 g) sweet red bean paste (anko) (7 Tbsp for 8 sakura mochi; 15 g, 2½ tsp per mochi; use koshian smooth paste (not tsubuan chunky paste); get store-bought or make my Homemade Red Bean Paste recipe)
8 salt-pickled cherry blossom leaves (you can purchase them in a vacuum-sealed package in Japanese grocery stores or buy online)
8 salt-pickled cherry blossoms (optional; for decoration; buy online)
water (for soaking the salted leaves and blossoms)
