Kusa Mochi (aka Yomogi Mochi)

Kusa mochi (草餅?, literally "grass mochi"), also known as yomogi mochi, is a Japanese sweet. It is considered a seasonal dish for spring.

It is made from mochi and leaf of yomogi (Artemisia princeps), or more traditionally from the Gnaphalium affine (ハハコグサ). It may also be filled with red bean paste.
Kusa mochi may also be used to make a kind of daifuku called yomogi daifuku.

Mochi (?) is a Japanese rice cake made of glutinous rice, waxy rice, sweet rice or otherwise called mochi rice.
Daifukumochi (大福餅?), or Daifuku (大福?) (literally "great luck"), is a Japanese confection consisting of a small round mochi (glutinous rice cake) stuffed with sweet filling, most commonly anko, sweetened red bean paste made from azuki beans.
