Rabbit Statue? No, A Rice Cake

Carolyn Said:

"Look what I found at the Japanese market! A cute Kagami Mochi, celebrating the year of the rabbit. The stacked two rice cakes are a symbol of luck welcoming the new year. Let’s hope 2023 is a good year. "

According to internet information, This Japanese rice cake dish is a traditional food item used to celebrate New Year  that consists of two layers of round rice cakes topped with a small mandarin.   The images on internet show the top could be anything.  With the coming of the Year of Rabbit in 2023, a rabbit mochi is certainly very appropriate.
