Wedding Eats: Japanese Mochi

Mochi is so yummy.

Mochi (or Manju) is a sweet Japanese rice cake that traditionally is served during the Japanese New Year, but is eaten year round. The mochi is made from rice pounded into a paste and then molded into a shape. They sometimes have a filling like bean paste, strawberries, or ice cream (like the mochi at Trader Joe's), they come in all kinds of colors, and they are really, really tasty.

I think they would make an awesome addition to a dessert buffet...
