Mochi is a traditional Japanese rice cake made by pounding glutinous rice (mochigome) into a soft, elastic dough, then shaping it into small rounds or blocks. It’s enjoyed in countless forms—plain, grilled, filled with anko (sweet red bean paste) as in Daifuku, or served in soups like Ozoni. Mochi holds deep cultural significance, especially during the Japanese New Year (Oshōgatsu), when it symbolizes good fortune and long life. Its chewy texture and adaptability make it popular in desserts, street snacks, and even ice cream worldwide.
