good stuff

The Japanese Sweets Deli in Meguro sells mochi creams, small scoops of ice cream, with a white creamy middle, wrapped in mochi (a chewy, stretchy rice mixture, sometimes called rice taffy; it's a traditional Japanese treat). The thing about the sweets here is that they're really not terribly sweet, just sweet enough, and they are everywhere, and available in tiny portions (you can eat one of these in four bites). I had the black sesame, pictured here in the display case, fifth flavor from the right, next to green tea. Yum!
