Formosa Yay - Imperial Mochi Taro Flavor (6.35oz)

Made out of mochigome (Japanese glutinous rice), Mochi is a popular sweet dessert consumed all over the world. Rice is pounded into a paste and molded to form the chewy, soft rice balls we enjoy today as Mochi. These mochi are filled with taro filling: taro is cut into wedges and steamed (sometimes with pandan leaf) until soft. Then it is mashed and mixed with a sugar rice mixture and strained into a nonstick pan. Lastly, it is combined with cooking oil and cooked until a consistent paste texture is formed. It's mildly sweet and very creamy.

We recommend to eat these taro-filled Mochi with a cup of hot tea.
