Probably, like the first time I saw those two strange words I was thinking..

Whats That? xD
Wagashi and Mochi.. Sounds weird, huh? :D
To me, it sounds like some pet dogs, :p.
Well, just so you know, Its not!
:D
Here is a delicious sample :)
– Actually a Dango made from Moch :p
Looks great, doesn’t it? :D
I want to eat it ! >.<
Waah.. I wonder when they’ll finally find out a machine that is able to teleport me to Japan or a shop that sells stuff like this !
- I bet nobody in Belgium sells this T.T
Anyways, I should probably get to the point instead of brabbling about random things :)
Mochi is, as Wikipedia says a Japanese Rice cake made of glutinous rice, pounded into paste and molded into shape.
It’s traditionally eaten at Japanese New Year.
(I’m going to write an article about it soon)
Mochi is similar to the Chinese Nian Gao, scrumptious goo,xD
Nian Gao and Mochi are both very sticky and hard to eat.
Though, once you get the hang of it, you’ll never want to stop. :)
Mochi is the base for something even better,
Wagashi !
Japanese Confectionary served with thee.
Some types of Wagashi are also made of azuki bean past and fruits.
Usually it’s made of natural, mainly plant ingrediënts.
There are many types of confectionary based on Wagashi,
Type 1. Rakugan.
A Rakugan is a small, very solid sweet cake which is made of rice flour and Mizuame.

Type 2. Taiyaki!
