Recently got back from Japan and we had these pink mochis a few times during and it was delicious. I wish I bought some there and now can’t find it. Where in the US can I get it or order it online ?
Not sure about the exact kind you had. You can try searching for wagashi.

It’s usually mochi with sakura petals as far as I know, but you’ll also find it made with red food coloring (unfortunate but easier to find)

The correct term for a sweet treat that goes along Tea (ceremony) is Wagashi. Hope you can find a seller.

This is not mochi. It is a type of wagashi called 練り切り (nerikiri), made by grinding beans into a paste. Since it’s a fresh confection, the best-before date is probably about 2 days.

These must be consumed within 1-2 days, so it’s unlikely you can find them outside of Japan. U can’t really bring them back too. I packed some in my luggage and they grew mold within a few days
If you are handy, u could learn how to make them yourself, as long as you can get the ingredients. They are usually made from mochiko (Japanese glutinous rice flour) and anko (azuki bean paste)
