Delicious bean cakes and deserts from a Japanese bakery in Northridge (I’ll have to find out the name and get back to you). From top to bottom:

Date cake: Tasted more like poppy seed to me. Just as well.
Sweet red bean cake: I am in heaven.
Taro cake = Love.
Rice mochi cakes with red bean: Tasty but too mushy/soft.
