Deep in the bamboo garden, where the tea kettles softly sing and little lanterns sway in the breeze, a curious Tanuki wandered in hoping for a snack. The Tanuki beloe, is a “raccoon dog” from Japan
Instead, he discovered an entire tea paw-ty. Waiting for him was a fluffy Chow wrapped in a bright koi kimono, tiny mochi treats dusted with sweet rice flour, and warm green tea poured into cheerful little cups. Soot the cat supervised from nearby, of course… mostly making sure nobody dropped the mochi.
These simple chewy mochi balls are wonderfully squishy and endlessly customizable — sweet bean paste, Nutella, berries, coconut, even savory fillings if you’re feeling adventurous. Paired with softly brewed green tea, they turn an ordinary afternoon into something just a little more magical.
So find a cozy spot, steep your tea gently, and join our little woodland gathering beneath the bamboo leaves.
