I think that stuff you're talking about is black sugar filling. I'm not
a big fan of that. I do like the fruity filling that they add to the
Chinese wedding cakes, which is quite similar to a moon cake except for
the filling.

I used to like the green mochi with the white bean filling when I was a
kid and never did like the azuki filling. These days I'm appreciating
the azuki filling more. They make a mochi with peanut butter filling
that evidently, people like but it's kinda repulsive to me.

We can get manju, mochi, and dorayaki in most stores. Boy I could go for
a dorayaki right now!
