Now you have to buy it again to try the leaf haha.

Oh the fragrance is not like perfume at all. Cherry blossom and cherry leaves are salted(to enhance the fragrance maybe) while the glutinous rice and bean paste are sweet. I dunno how to explain it - just look for a place that sells "fresh" sakura-mochi and try it! (Though you need to wait til next spring now... ^^;;) Why why why Joan forbids you??

Yeah usually I don't get that full from Japanese course where each dish is small and comes out slowly, but the two layers of bento filled me up really quickly from the start.

The bento seems quite filling already by itself. Beautiful presentation~ The Tai chatsuke sounds so good (what kind of tea is it?). The bento seems quite filling already by itself.
