matcha mochi

Powdered tea treat

Matcha mochi is a Japanese confection combining two traditional elements: mochi, the chewy rice cake made from pounded glutinous rice, and matcha, the finely ground green tea powder.

The matcha may be mixed into the mochi itself, dusted on the outside, or flavor a filling like sweet red bean paste.

I picked up some matcha mochi at the Japanese market.
