Have you ever had Sakura-mochi?
Sakuramochi (桜餅) is a very traditional Japanese sweet! The sweet pink-colored rice cake (mochi) with a red bean paste (anko) in the center are so tastiful, and it's wrapped in a pickled cherry blossom (sakura) leaf. You can eat the leaf as well. (It's a bit salty, and goes very well with the sweet mochi.)
