I hear they are one of a kind! One day I will get around to trying them. One day! But what caught my attention was not your review on Hanami....(ashamed to say it)....but rather...your mentioning of those mochis!!! They sound INSANELY DIVINE! I love mochi so you totally got my stomach's attention! (I know this is an old review, but I saw Ayala Moriel listed in your sidebar, so I just had to take a look).

I would have loved to sniff the deconstructed components and then sniffing the whole together! Thank you for documenting the experience so thoroughly so I can imagine what it would have been like. Hanami is exquisite -- dirty but not dreary, creamy milky sweetness with beautifully blended florals that aren't "too pretty" at all. It succeeds in all those aspects, which is what makes it so remarkable. duVergne,

I only wish I could have been there with you. But your eloquent words make me feel as if I had been. Cheers, Trish duVergne,
