Otabe Otabe of Kuro: Black sesame yatsuhashi (triangular mochi dessert) from Kyoto. Terrific, soft texture with a faintly sweet filling with real black sesame seeds. A very special treat. 5.0/5.0

Mong Lee Shang Taiwanese mochi with sesame paste: One of the best pre-packaged mochi I've ever had. Perfectly sized for snacking with a sliver of red bean at its center. Sesame seeds add texture and nutty flavor. Delicious! 4.5/5.0
