Marushin Kine Tsuki Fuku Mochi Rice Cake 400g

Mochi (餅) is a traditional Japanese rice cake made from mochigome, a short-grain glutinous rice. These Kine Tsuki Fuku mochi from Marushin are plain, unsweetened, and individually wrapped for freshness, offering a characteristically soft and chewy texture when prepared. Their neutral flavour makes them incredibly versatile for both sweet and savoury dishes. To prepare, simply grill or pan-fry the mochi blocks for a few minutes until they puff up and become soft, or add them directly to soups like ozoni, a traditional New Year's dish. They can also be enjoyed as a dessert, served warm with a dusting of kinako (roasted soybean flour) and a drizzle of kuromitsu (black sugar syrup). This style of mochi, known as kirimochi, is a staple pantry item in many Japanese households, valued for its convenience and comforting quality. Contains SOY.
