One word: mochi. Okay, more words: Anything that could possibly work with lush, sweet rice flour is created into whimsical, two-bite treats that can be purchased by the piece. Purple knots are taro filled with lima-bean paste (seriously, it’s a good idea), muted yellow comes from peanut butter, and even "ordinary" red bean can be purchased as pretty pink and green apple shapes. Of course, there’s the mochi ice cream. Markets carry the packaged boxes, but why not mix-and-match flavors for the exact same price?
