Adorable packaged sweets, Himegokoro (Princess Heart) from my local supermarket 🌸

They’re marshmallows filled with strawberry jam, wrapped in a spring design of blossoms.

Many pink sweets are now on sale for Hinamatsuri (the Peach Festival) on March 3rd.

The color represents peach blossoms, which are believed to ward off evil and symbolize the healthy growth of girls 💕
