A hearty flavoured and unique, chewy gluten-free treat; a natural favourite in Japan. Mochi is made by pounding a sticky rice known as sweet rice, it comes as a hard block which when cooked, goes golden and crispy on the outside and soft and sticky on the inside. Clearspring mochi can be found either with 100% brown rice or be made with added mugwort ("Yomogi" herb), a wild Japanese herb and that gives a deep, earthy and very savoury flavour.

Sweet brown rice (98%), mugwort (2%)

Mochi is supremely versatile, easy to cook and generally served as the main ingredient of a meal.

Traditionally, it is included in the first meal of the Japanese New Year, usually in soup or stew, as it symbolises longevity and wealth.

It can be baked, grilled, pan-fried, or deep-fried. When cooked, it puffs up to nearly double its original size, developing a crisp crust outside and a soft, melting interior.

If cooked too long, the surface cracks and the soft part inside oozes out. So, while cooking, watch carefully!
