Botamochi (ぼたもち or 牡丹餅)

We eat Botamochi on Vernal Equinox Day.
Botamochi are a Japanese sweet made with glutinous rice,
rice and sweet Azuki paste .
A very similar sweet,
ohagi (おはぎ), uses a slightly different texture of azuki paste,
but is otherwise almost identical. It is made in autumn.
The two different names are derived from the Botan
which blooms in the spring and the Hagi which blooms during autumn.
by Wikipedia
Azuki is a good oriental medicinal ingredient for swelling.
