Seasonal sweets tend to be fruits, like the cherries or melon. The most common ones, daifuku, which you photographed (the eyeballs--which actually only look like that because they are display items), are mochi filled with red bean paste and chestnut, they are soft and chewy and really delicious (and dangerously addictive). Another really popular one is the taiyaki which is pancake with red bean paste (this is a childhood favorite for many and a great introduction to Japanese desserts). All these desserts go perfectly with a nice bitter tea such barley, green or black. Another wonderful place where you can try delicious Japanese desserts is Cha-An near St. Mark's Place. It's a Japanese tea-house essentially. Check it out! I hope this little description helps!
