Neighboring country with dishes like these. The pomegranate garnish reminds me of Persian influence.
Meant to find an Ukrainian restaurant to show support but in absence, we found this place.
Sakura-mochi is sweet red bean filling wrapped in pink glazed sweet mochi rice, then wrapped in naturally preserved, should I say pickled, cherry blossom leaf. These mochi cakes have a dreamy aroma of cherry blossom flowers and served to appreciate the auspicous season of Spring – Spring that symbolizes renewal and rebirth.
A Friend… losing one’s mother is tough … very tough. Therefore the least I can do is bring some flowers and … a candle light up even a little the darkened feelings of loss. The scent is Magnolia and the wicks are … natural wood that burns without smoke to ash … May we live the kind of life that light up others with spontaneous acts of kindness; emit lovely unassuming scent … then burn off into ashes to return to this earth perhaps to reincarnate as a beautiful being with a crown of magnolia flowers … maybe, just maybe. That would be a life well lived.
