How they were served? ehm, on a plate?! :P You could choose one (or several) and then you got them on a serviette...

You ate 'wagashi' meaning traditional Japanese sweets. The soft chewy outside is a special rice steamed then pounded into a dough called mochi. Mochi is usually white but can be dyed any color or be coated with varies accents. The inner sweet filling is usually an Azuki bean paste called anko. There are many delicious varieties including modern hybrids that use chocolate or fruits like kiwi.
