Introduction
Japanese cuisine is the epitome of what some consider to be authentic and traditional, and with a peek into the history of Japanese cooking, you can see why. Many modern techniques in the West are derived from traditional Japanese methods. Cooking with a direct eye to flavor rather than appearance or health has been an essential part of Japanese cuisine since its inception; using simple ingredients and including as many seasonings as possible ensure all meals are deliciously flavorful.
Mochi is an extremely popular Japanese staple, and one of the most widely eaten traditional Japanese foods. Mochi is made from tapioca flour, with or without added sugar. The rice cake is made into a square-shaped dish by rolling it between alternating hands to create a long rectangular shape, and then cutting it into small rectangles.
The word mochi can also mean any kind of cake or pastry as well. Mochi is commonly served during the New Years season, and often as a gift at weddings. In Japanese culture, rice cakes are seen as symbols of longevity because of their low caloric content and high starchy content. In this sense, mochi are thought to bring good fortune to those who eat them.
