Japanese rice cake

i went to J-town for grocery today and got some rice cake. i always crave sweet when i'm sick, why??? my Japanese friend told me to get this pink rice cake - "it tastes more interesting" she said. And indeed it does. the outer skin is made out of sweet glutenous sticky rice and colored in pink. the inside is the typical Japanese sweet red bean paste. the interesting part is the pickled cherry leaf wraping on the outside (that should be or can be eaten with the cake). the pickled cherry leaf taste reminded me of the slightly salty pickled plum crossing with the grape leaf taste in domus (correct spelling here???). very interesting indeed, i really like it.
