Mashable mochi
Hello,
Mochi is one of the most popular Japanese treats beloved by Singaporeans, and it’s easy to see why once you bite into its chewy skin and the occasional sweet filling. What I like about it is that it comes in many forms—the most typical ones are made with steamed glutinous rice and traditionally pounded in a mortar with wooden pallets, while those which are stuffed with fillings are known as daifuku. Then you have warabimochi, traditionally served with kuromitsu syrup that is made with muscavado sugar.
Whatever it is, if you’re looking for Japanese wagashi with a sticky, chewy texture, you’ve come to the right place. Here are the best places to find mochi in Singapore.
