Nice additions! I actually just learnt and its vocab 親戚 from a book, No Longer Human (currently in the Advanced Book Club). It’s in furigana there, even though apparently it’s N3.


餅 seems to be usually in hiragana, but as with 苺, probably on a lot of food packaging and menus.

By the way, there’s a cute slice of life anime about a family running a mochi shop, Tamako Market.
