Mochi - Japanese Rice Cake

If you have never had mochi before, you are in for a real treat. I can’t even compare it to anything because I just can’t think of anything to compare it to! The best description I can think of is a cross between a marshmallow and the chewy texture of a gummy candy.

Trying mochi for the first time was an interesting experience I was not sure what to expect when I picked up the soft, squishy treat, but from the first bite, I was hooked! It’s a little weird, definitely wonderful, and totally addictive!

Now, believe it or not, not everyone in my family is a fan. I guess this is one of those things that you either love or do not like at all, kinda like Brussels Sprouts.
