ohagi

First, more from my parents's friend Ms. J:
The below is out email correspondence.
Me: I am glad to hear everything is going well and you like the city. The forecast is for sun tomorrow, so it should be a nice day for Nara. I used to live in Nara (for 3 years when I first got here). Nara Park is beautiful with a lot of temples and shrines and deer. Make sure you bring your walking shoes, or even better sneakers! Let me know how if goes when you get back.

Ms. J: Thanks. Went to an incredible sushi restaurant last night. I think the name is Sushi Kaiba.....a family run place. Got my photo taken with the sushi chef. Now it's off to Nara.

Does anyone know Sushi Kaiba? I have never heard of it, but maybe it is famous? expensive?

Anyway, below are "ohagi," which are Japanese rice cake ball covered with red sweet beans. Ohagi are one of my favorite Japanese sweets! Have you ever tried them? If yes, do you like them? What other Japanese sweets do you recommend?
