Wagashi are Japanese traditional sweets, many different kinds including mochi. There is an old shop only a block away from the apartment, Kigetsudou, started in 1900. We bought some today, super fresh and delicious.
I don't know the names of most of these! We will definitely go again soon to try more.

Mitarashi dango, so good! |

Cold almond jelly with fruit |

My favorite! The almond taste is oishii |
Below are two grocery store bought wagashi

Mochi in a light clear jelly |

We didn't open this one yet. Little jelly balls, with dark sugar syrup and kinako powder |
How does the mochi compare to the mochi in Hawaii? I may need to run to the Korean market for a quick fix!
