Daifuku Mochi.

Best tasting stuff evar.
I love the melon mochi. 8)
As far as daifuku goes, I like mine sprinkled with sesame seeds.
I have yet to expand on them.

looks very good. where'd you get that?

How does it taste like?

Those kinda remind me of dunkin donuts munchkins and chinese buchi.
(both which I love to eat very much) :D

Well since I live in the states, I don't have an official Japanese store where I live, I get them at this place call "New Sagaya."



It tastes very good, it's just a glutinous rice cake filled with a sweet filling inside. I like mine filled with red bean paste. 8)

*Stare*

I'm getting hungry

I like the melon one please XD

Wonder how they make this.

ugh. states, huh....let's wait until i buzz off this damn country...but well. for the time being, i want moar pics, and recipes if available. :wink:

It's just rice flour, sugar, and water for the "dough".

Filling is sweet red bean paste.


But, yeah...it's damn good. My family makes it from scratch sometimes. Sometimes we just buy the little packets. Usually find it in a Japanese grocery store. Sometimes Chinese stores have them.

We get the assorted packs.

Also, the ones stuffed with ice cream are great during the summer.

ooh. thanks. it's quite simple, actually. but what to do with those ingredients? umm...i suck in making sweets.

1 cup glutinous rice flour
1/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup water




Mix those together. Put in microwave safe bowl. Heat 2 mins. Stir. Heat again until dough inflates.
Cut them into bite size pieces and dust with potato starch.




The red beans are hard to find if you don't have a Japanese grocery store. So you can just eat these plain. Or you can sprinkle shredded coconuts on it or whatever.

Wow, it sounds pretty simple to do. :shock:
But I still don't mind forkin' out a buck and some odd cents for these tasty confections. :)

yeah, sounds very simple. thanks tsujoi i'll go try it now. ah, +rep.

Drools, mochi. Haven't got much range where I am, but the sesame and red bean is nice. Same with peanut butter filling lol.

OMFG, I just had some Strawberry filled Mochi and that far exceeds the melon mochi!!!
S'better tasting, love the color....

ugh, you're lucky. i'm just enjoying the dough i made myself because of lack of good fillings here....

Kinda I guess, theyre 5 bucks apeice >__>

I used to make daifuku mochi a lot a while back. I prefer steaming mine, but forgot to bring my steamer when I moved so now I cannot :(
