Phoebe Ogawa Makes Wagashi Desserts in Queens | Eater NY
"A Japanese market at 5-35 51st Avenue, near Vernon Boulevard, MogMog sells premium fish, seasonings, fuyu persimmons, fresh bamboo shoots and other hard-to-find Japanese pantry staples; the shop connected with Ogawa during her time at Kajitsu, encouraged her to make confections for them, and sells individual wagashi (presented in plastic containers like luxe gemstones) mostly for under $10 with flavors that change monthly — on a recent visit she was selling sakura mochi filled with sweet red bean paste and wrapped in preserved cherry blossom leaf and blossom." - Emma Orlow
