スラッシュ over 15 years ago [hidden] Mochi is a sweet rice cake that's basically 99% sugar, 1% rice, and it's on a heater, which puffs it up (it does look like a marshmallow a bit now that you mentioned it). It's traditionally eaten at new year in Japan, I think. 0 Reply Copy ID Copy Link

Lalaca over 15 years ago [hidden] Made with glutinous rice. Not necessarily sweet by default.Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MochiShould explain things better than I ever could. 0 Reply Copy ID Copy Link
Sigfried666 over 15 years ago [hidden] I ate mochi yesterday. Had to add soy sauce for it to have any taste at all... Not that I don't like it, it was simply... tasteless... 0 Reply Copy ID Copy Link
