Mochi, a magical word in Japanese. It is a traditional Japanese treat that is made of glutinous rice cake. Some like to describe the treat as having small bites of chewy cake. It has a fluffy yet firm mouth feel when bitten into and chewed.
Plain mochi by itself usually has a subtle sweetness to it. During the process of making it into a soft and chewy cake, salt is added to activate the taste of the glutinous rice.
Mochi comes in many flavors such as strawberry, chocolate, matcha and red bean. But, the one which caught our eye the most is taro mochi. Made with the ground root vegetable, it has a natural nutty and vanilla flavor. This instantly became our favorite!
