Mochi - The rising star in Europe

What is mochi?

Mochi, a Japanese delicacy with roots dating back centuries, is now creating waves of excitement as it gains popularity in Europe. Essentially, it's a sweet rice cake made from sticky rice also known as mochigome in Japan, Taiwan, and China. The process involves soaking, steaming, and shaping the rice into a sticky, chewy consistency. The dough is then shaped into various forms with many different flavors and fillings.

While traditional flavors like Love & Love red bean, sesame, and green tea remain popular, mochi has evolved over the years and now offers a wide range of tastes. In Europe, adventurous customers can purchase exotic options from Taiwan like Kaoriya’s ube, coconut pandan, taro, and even the unique taste of durian. Each bite tells a story of centuries-old recipes meeting modern-world creativity. One of the charms of the ambient mochi’s is in the convenience they offer.
