Echigo Seika’s mochi (Japanese rice cake) is made with 100% Niigata prefecture-grown glutinous rice. They start their production by purchasing brown rice, and the rice is polished in-house just before cooking to make it into mochi, then dried and packaged individually so that they may be eaten as you wish, preventing them from drying prematurely. This kirimochi is designed to restore the chewy and smooth texture of freshly pounded mochi. In addition, by making a notch on the side, it will puff up nicely when baked.
In America, Mochi is commonly thought of as a dessert item which sugar added and eaten in-hand, however Mochi refers simply to the rice cake and they are often grilled and added to soups and broths.
