Strawberry Red Bean Mochi
Who knew such a concoction exists but man am I glad it does. While waiting in line for Sushi Dai, I had spotted the kid in front of me eating this. Out of hunger, I went and purchased one. It was everything I love in one bite. The Japanese strawberry has a tart yet sweet flavor to it. Overall the mochi wasn’t too sweet. It was so good that I went and bought two more.
You can find them in the first stall in the row behind Sushi Dai at the Tsukiji Fish Market. The little old man hand makes them along with characters made out of kidney and red bean paste.
