Kusa mochi (草餅?, literally "grass mochi"), also known as kusamochi or yomogi mochi, is a Japanese sweet. It is considered a seasonal dish for spring. It is made from mochi and leaves of Japanese mugwort or (more traditionally) from Jersey cudweed. It may also be filled with red bean paste.
Kusa mochi may also be used to make a kind of daifuku called yomogi daifuku.
