Mochi
 

I love Mochi(Ice Cream especially) Does anyone else???

Mango mochi is my favorite! Next time I get some, I want to try green tea flavored.

I really love all of them but i haven't tried green tea yet...

I`m about sick of mochi after the last couple weeks. We accumulated a huge amount over New Years, so it`s become our recent staple...

Mochi in soup. Grilled mochi. Thinly sliced and fried mochi. Deep fried mochi...
*sigh*

The sweet stuff is daifuku, and is quite a bit different.

Where do you get yours? I buy my mochi at Trader Joe's. I think they also have stawberry there.

I would like to try one green tea. I just don't like real tea, so it doesn't sound that good. I don't want to buy a whole package, though.

Icecream? Mango? Strawberry?

lol I don't think you guys know what mochi is....

I thought the same thing, and did a little search. Apparently 雪見だいふく is marketed the world around as "mochi ice cream"... And to be associated with it, all daifuku seems to be marketed as "mochi". So I can sort of understand the confusion.

Whatever its called, I know what you're talking about. Mmmmm.

My absolutely favorite is the green tea mochi. ^_^ Normally I do not like strawberry but the strawberry flavored one tastes so good.

I get mine at Trader Joe's or sometimes at my local Korean store.

I used to buy that stuff all the time from china town in NYC.

But now that I'm in Japan, I can't find it! No one knows what it is.

I don't ever remember seeing mochi with the ice-cream in it in Japan.

I`m fairly certain they`re talking about these: http://www.lotte.co.jp/products/catalogue/ice/03.html
As they`re marketed as mochi ice cream outside of Japan.

They`re quite common, and sold pretty much everywhere.

That has to be it! I'm headed to the supermarket to look for that right now!

I had a job in Japan where I saw what many people died from. Choking on Mochi was a big surprise to me. I'm afraid to eat it now.:eek:

I was thinking the exact thing.
So are we talking about rice cakes or... ?

K here it is:

In america at numerious japanese restaurants that I've been to, they have this ice cream labled as "mochi ice cream". It was ice cream packed inside of a soft dough.

When I moved to Japan I was looking around forever for it, but no one knows what "mochi ice cream" is.

Nyororin posted a link to what it actually is called here. That's probably what the OP was talking about.

Hmm, I wanted to bring this topic back for a quick minute.

I went and tried Mikawaya mochi, and although the strawberry was good, the dough was quite gooey and very powdery. Is it suppose to be powdery?
