I am not so sure whether you can find canned red bean paste or green tea powder in your local supermarket, if you could find them, there are many ways to fix some desserts with Japanese touch within 5 minutes!

For example: you can slice some store-brought spongy cake into 1 cm thick (3 cm x 4 cm rectangular shape), put 1 slice on a serving plate, place 1 or 2 tablespoon of red bean paste on the spongy cake, cover it with a tablespoon of whipped cream, sprinkle green tea powder on the cream, then add another slice of spongy cake on the cream and place 2 tablespoon of whipped cream on top, sprinkle some green tea powder on the cream, lastly, sprinkle some icing sugar on the green tea powder.

If you want to control the calories intake, you can reduce the portion of the cream or just prepare the first layer and serve it with green tea ice-cream or Vanilla ice-cream.

Below are some simple Japanese snacks videos with preparation guides for your reference, hope you would enjoy them.

The above mentioned dishes are very popular in Japan.

How about mochi ice cream. You can buy plain mochi dough in most japanese and some BIG chinese grocery stores, then get your favorite ice cream.
Make small scoops of ice cream, then put them on a plate and back in the freezer. Then have your mochi dough and a little bit of rice flour (also you can get as the same grocery store) and a rolling pin and just roll them out like a small pizza dough and put the ice cream in the middle and fold the dough around the ice cream, pinch it tight and put it back in the freezer.
Then you have two options, either eat it as is or melt some chocolate, dip the mochi ice cream ball in the chocolate and then back into the feezer for 15-20 minutes.
Take out the Dairy Queen hard shell ice cream ball of fun and enjoy.
It'a a lot easier than this response seems.
Good Luck

don't need one, I am a chef

A lot of the sweets in Japan that aren't mochi are originally from other countries. Mochi was the traditional sweet. After that, another thing fairly unique to Japan was sweet red bean paste. Put some paste in the middle of a donut, mix it into ice cream.
Sometimes, they would make rather unique variations on western food. One of the more unusual was a fruit salad sandwich- white bread sandwich with crust cut off, vanilla custard, whipped ceam and fresh fruit slices.

lived in Japan for several years.

Sounds good! Have fun and enjoy!
