Traditionally eaten during the tea ceremony, mochi is a Japanese delicacy. It’s made from glutinous rice, sugar and a little water. Originally, it was filled with sweetened red bean paste to soften the natural bitterness of matcha tea. But now you can find mochi filled with (almost) anything you want!
