Sakuramochi is Japanese traditional confectionery for the cherry blossoms. 
A sweet pink mochi(= rice cake) and red bean paste are covered with a leaf of sakura(=cherry blossom). 
The sweet taste and the scent of a cherry tree reminds us of the lovely season. 
Sakura mochi has some variations. 
This is the Kansai-style sakura mochi. 
The first one is Tokyo-style sakura mochi. 
This is Kusa mochi.
It's also a seasonal dish for spring.
