Mochi - Rice Cakes

Get into a sticky situation with these Mochi Rice Cake delights! Mochi is a traditional Japanese snack made of soft and extremely sticky glutinous rice paste. The Rice Cakes are crafted by soaking short grain sweet rice overnight, cooking it, and then pounding the rice into a paste. The Mochi paste is then formed into a variety of different shapes ranging from round balls to highly decorative pastries for celebrations. Mochi Rice Cake is often filled with sweet contents such as azuki red bean paste, ice cream, or even whole strawberries. Mochi can also be found in soups like Zoni which are eaten in celebration of the Japanese New Year.
