Mochis

What makes mochis so special?

Mochis are traditional Japanese rice cakes made from steamed and then vigorously pounded glutinous rice. This special process creates the soft and elastic texture that you won’t find in any other snack and that makes them so popular.

The rice cakes as we mostly know them are called Daifuku. Here, the delicate dough shell encloses a sweet core, such as classic red bean paste, chocolate, mango, or matcha, as well as modern creamy surprises.

FAQ – Mochi

Where do mochis come from?
The origins of these small rice cakes go back over 2,000 years. Originally brought from China to Japan, they developed over the centuries into a central part of Japanese culture. Traditionally, mochis were a symbol of happiness and prosperity, especially served during special occasions such as New Year celebrations or weddings.

How should I store my mochis?
Since mochis are made from glutinous rice, they can quickly become hard when exposed to air. It’s best to store them unopened in a cool, dry place. Once opened: keep them airtight so they stay soft.

Do you offer vegan mochis?
Many of our traditional varieties with bean paste are naturally vegan. However, for modern versions with creamy fillings (such as matcha cream or chocolate), it’s best to check the ingredient list, as they may contain dairy components.
