(pancakes with anko filling), taiyaki
(carp shaped cake), and so on. Also, anko can be eaten with mochi
(rice cake), such as shiruko
(sweet rice cake soup). Here is a recipe
for anko. Other popular wa-gashi are yokan (sweet beans jello) and daifuku
(sweet rice cake). There are different kinds of yokan and daifuku depending on
