SATO NO KIRIMOCHI PARITTOSUITTO 400g rice cake (400g)

It’s just so good taste and texture if you like Mochi. These are packaged individually, so it’s easy and convenient to use them.

I’ll be honest - I bought these for the fun of it and because I was bored. It seemed like a good deal, and the reviews for it were pretty good. I wasn’t disappointed!! There are many ways to make these, which you can see in the other reviews, but the instructions say that you can either put them in a 1000w toaster oven for 2-3 minutes, or boil them in water for 2 minutes. I dont have a toaster oven, so I had to boil them. If you boil them, they’re VERY chewy and soft. I have temporomandibular joint dysfunction (ironically a mouthful lol) and these didn’t bother my sensitive jaw at all - bless! But I still take small bites to avoid any trouble (like I do with every food). If you threw them in an oven or toaster oven, they’d probably be crunchy - crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside, is how they’re supposed to be that way.Mind you, this is a Japanese product and everything on the packaging is in Japanese. I speak a fair amount of Japanese, so it wasn’t much of an issue for me, but if you don’t, try to keep that in mind ^^ I would recommend online translators like google translate ONLY as a last resort!! You can always google different ways to eat mochi.When I tried mine for the first time, I ate them plain to get a sense of how they would taste. They kind of taste like white rice, but a bit different. Once, i doused white sugar on them and it added, naturally, a bit of sweetness to it, and I didn’t have any complaints. I haven’t done much with them since because I haven’t been home, but I’m excited to try other (and more properly Japanese) ways to eat them.On a side note, my order arrived earlier than expected and it was package nicely, and I have to commend the seller for following up with an email personally. I think that was a nice touch and I can certainly appreciate that! Would love to order again.

1-Have a pan of boiling water on a burner.2-Put a little oil in a fry pan. 3-Fry each side till crispy.4- Press the center when a little soft .5- pickup each cake and put in the boiling water till really soft (it happens fast ) 6-pick out with chopsticks 7- have a dish with kinako powder mixed with sugar 8-put the soft mochi into the kinako sugar powder and mix a lot of powder into the mochi. Stretch the mochi to pickup the powder . Excellent all year long .

Kiri mochi is good in red bean soup or just by itself. It needs to be eaten while hot, though. An issue if you have nekojita (like me). Love the texture.

Classic mochi rice cakes. I personally just microwave it for a few seconds (about 7-10) to make it soft. Throw it in a pan with a bit of butter until it puffs up and is completely soft. Then I dip it in a soysauce/sugar mixture, and put it back in the pan for a about 15 seconds until the sugar starts to carmelize and then put it on a piece of nori. Wait for it to cool down for a little bit and it is a chewy gooey snack.

Read reviews, all were good. I love anything chewy or glutinous so these were perfect for me. The bag comes with eight individual pieces and each piece is scored, making four small pieces. They are very easy to break apart so that won’t be a problem. The easiest way to cook them which probably isn’t the traditional way, is microwaving them. They took literally 25-30 seconds. I noticed when I kept the mochi cake whole, 30 seconds made it completely flatten out which is still fine and edible. If you break it up, the 30 seconds will still keep their shape (for the most part) and it’s gooey in the middle. Either way, it just depends on how you like it.I ate 3 of them and they were yummy. They literally have no flavor to me. So I wrapped nori around it and dipped in soy sauce. So good! Just be careful once you’re done cooking them, they are hot! Seriously. And remember, they are very very chewy. You’ll chew for hours (lol, just kidding). Fun food to eat for sure.

I am so glad that I finally found a real Japanese Mochi. It means that this is made from Japanese rice from the Niigata Pref., which is the region growing best rice. Their product is used for making Sake, too.Carefully and kindly packaged. Unfortunately, the explanation is all Japanese. I am a native Japanese, so I have no problem to read them. I can enjoy my traditional Japanese new year with this authentic Japanese Mochi. Thank you, Amazon. I don't have to drive to an oriental market to get a fake Mochi （they are not made from Japanese rice） anymore.

Couldn't stop eating this even though it had no flavor. I ended up buying 5 more bags after testing it out with the first one. Both combination of chewy and crunchy~
