Hanabira literally means flower petal.
White mochi (rice cake) is rolled out thin and a pink colored mochi is added to it so that you can see the pink through the white.
Inside of the pink mochi, some sweetened miso and a candied gobo (burdock root).
I purchased this one at Chikujian...delicious with some green tea.

Oooh that sounds delicious with the candied gobo bits inside.
The gobo and sweet miso combination sounds great!
Thanks Rick, it isn't bits of gobo though, just one long piece :)
Amazingly it works, Dennis :)
Take care you two.

Wow, so many neat Japanese treats that I've never heard of before...thanks for enlightening me :)
PS...you must be the only person who saw my strawberry bread before I deleted it. My family said it was "OK" so I didn't think it was good enough for the blog hop. Then my knitting group said it was good...so you may see it again!
beautiful! haven't tried any type dessert with gobo before (only in savory dishes), it sounds intriguing ^_^
Sounds like something I would like.
different but delicious J-A!

kinda like the Chinese candied lotus root, Kathy :)
I hope you get a chance to try something like this Jalna :)
Take care everyone!

That's a very pretty, delicate looking wagashi Kat!
Such a pretty pink color--although at first glance I thought it said habanero mochi. ;-)
that is funny Deb :)
Take care.

It looks so delicate too. And with candied gobo...wow!
Beautiful - I miss Japanese sweets and their beauty. Everything here is big and more rough, not too details (although there are good things about it too). Love delicate dessert.
delicately soft Rowena :)

and tasty K :)
Take care everyone.
