A bright cake that conquered social networks and you can order it from Koi. So how did the most popular cakes appear? For a very long time, mochi sweets were the food of aristocrats - emperors and their relatives. This is due to the fact that real mochi can only be made from motigome rice, and there was very little of it in Japan in the 8th century. Mochi rice dessert became available to all strata of the population only in the 14th century, but even then it was rather a festive food that could not be afforded to eat every day. At that time, mochi were simply cakes or balls of white rice dough, without filling. Neither fruits nor dyes were added to them. To this day, the Japanese still have a New Year's tradition related to mochi: they lay out clean cakes of rice dough in a pyramid, thus decorating the house for the upcoming holiday, and on the first day of the new year they cut them and eat them with zoni soup. Today, the traditional Japanese treat is a cross between an ice cream and a cake. The shell of the dessert is made of special motigome rice flour, the peculiarity of which is that it acquires a sweet taste when kneaded for a long time. And under the tender, stretchy shell hides a creamy cream mousse with juicy fillings. The taste of Mochi is chewy and slightly sweet. The texture of mocha can vary depending on how it is prepared: some types are soft and fluffy, while others are firmer and denser. Interesting facts about Moti.
