Lot's of desserts are excessively sweet yet these on their own are not. Superbly offset with the coconut with a velvety texture, the marginally chewy mochi and external covering enables the flavour to linger in your mouth. It is the blackcurrant jam (or any kind, of course) that will add the sweet touch.
