  29. Ohagi (御萩), a simple rice cake covered in bean jam, goes by different names (& textures) depending on the season...

    🌸spring = botamochi (牡丹餅 'peony')
    ⛱️summer = yofune (夜舟 'night boat')
    🎑autumn = ohagi (御萩 'bush clover')
    🌨️winter = kita-mado (北窓 'northern window').

    'Kita-mado' look like normal ohagi, but their texture and taste are different.
