Mugwort bean bun, anyone?

I got this at the Lawson's convenience store the other day. It helped keep the pre-lunch hunger pains at bay. I forgot to take a picture when it looked better...so you will just have to imagine the rest.

蓬、よもぎ, is known in English as mugwort - it is often used in tempura, rice cakes, and more. It is a seasonal spring ingredient often found wild in fields and said to be a medicinal herb in addition to a culinary one.
