Here at Bokksu, we love the sweet, soft, chewy Japanese sweet treat known as traditional mochi. This popular treat starts out as simple Japanese rice cake and is transformed into cute little mochi balls that capture people’s attention (and taste buds) with delicious flavors and beautiful pastel coloring. In Japanese culture, the word “mochi” means celebration, so these flavorful little morsels are usually served during special events or holidays such as New Years, the arrival of spring, and during Sakura Festivals when Japan celebrates the arrival of the cherry blossoms. Delights your friends or family and try serving up Japanese mochi as a special treat at your next party or just enjoy the deliciousness of fresh mochi any night of the week.
