Japanese Cake These are daifuku mochi, daifuku means big good luck, mochi is rice cake. They are $2 at four. 
 
This is shio-mame-daifuku-mochi. I mean, it is a salt bean soft rice cake stuffed with sweetened bean jam. There are some beans on the soft rice cake, but it is one of traditional Japanese sweets. I like it. By the way, I have never thought so, but it looks sexy when I looked at it on the picture. I wonder if Sharapova, pro tennis player, have eaten it when she came to Japan. I think she likes pirozhki. But she must like a sweet of round shape like a tennis ball. DATE Kimiko, Japanese pro tennis player, also likes rice ball. She would eat it before the game whenever she had a game. She should live in Germany with her husband, German racing driver now.
