   Another aspect of #Deaimon I like is the generational family comedy.

     They don't seem easy to make!

     The white one is a Jouyo Manju (薯蕷饅頭), a shell of yam filled with bean paste:

     The green one is a Kinton (金団), made with sweet potato:

     After seeing these, I must absolutely find a wagashi store in Los Angeles 🤤

     I found a small family-ran wagashi-ya in Gardena!! 😋

     The pair in the front are Jouyo Manju.

     The dark ones in the back are Ohagi, rice balls covered in sweet azuki bean paste. They're also known as Botamochi:

     The brown ones on the sides are Kuri Manju (kuri = 栗 = chestnut).

     They didn't have any Kinton, but I will come back to try the others...
