Traditionally, making warabimochi involved using the warabi (bracken) vegetable for its starch to create the mochi. However, in more recent times, warabimochi is made using tapioca starch, which results in a different type of mochi than the rice mochi you probably know, which is made using glutinous rice. Chewy and nutty with a jelly-like texture, warabimochi makes a frequent appearance in the summertime.
