Sorry, Iโm posting mochi again. ๐ These were the last onesย I had, paired with green tea one warm winter morning. The sun has generously shared its glory with us the past days and we really have been enjoying it in this supposedly winter season. It feels like summerโฆthe perfect weather to enjoy mochi and tea.

Hopiang hapon, one with mung beans was something I remember from childhood. Iโm sure one can usually buy it from the sari-sari storeย opposite the street. The older people from our neighborhood would have them with coffee. I canโt say that these are my favorite because Iโd prefer hopiang baboy anytime (which I recently learned were not really pork but candied winter melon, so imagine the relief I felt, I was always guilty munching on them).

These โrealโ Hopiang hapon were also from Kuya OโฆThe one embedded with leaf design is filled with red bean paste, reminiscent of munggong hopia. The other two would be green tea (what do you expect?) and I think chestnut paste, same with the white mochi aboveโฆthe brown, peached-shape might be peach but I am not too sureโฆit was yummy though! I learned too about Kuri manju which is supposedly a recently introduced treat.
P.S. If you love Eng Bee Tinโs ube hopia like I do, be advised that because of the food color content, they are banned by the US FDA. ):

Hello,
Thank you for introducing Japanese sweets. I love them. I'm not so sure what is Hopiang hapon??? guess Chinese moon cake? Japanese sweets are rather healthy food as slmost all ingredients are made from plants.?Thank you.
