@MeliaRuby – yeah, the red bean ones are my favourites too. I found the filling was an acquired taste, but once acquired, it has never gone away. So gently sweet with a lovely texture.

I’ve loved these ever since i had them in Yo! Sushi
There’s loads of asian grocers on mill road in cambridge that stock mochi, i was so pleased when i found them! You can get packs of little ones, or larger ones, and they’re generally green tea or red bean. I prefer the red bean ones though.

@howardbites Hi. If you’re in London or somewhere similar you can find them in most Asian grocers. Or check the Japan Centre online store. You’re the second person to mention the chocolate mochi, i’ll have to give it a try.

Hi Alison. I’ve found these ones wrapped indiidually – they a decent size too, about 3 inches across I guess. I had never thought about a chocolate mochi before. Blimy. Chocolate, ice cream, a whole new mochi world is opening up in front of me…

The only mochi I see regularly are the ones in packs of six or so in the Chinese supermarket.. can you get bigger ones?

Incidentally, my partner is completely addicted to the chocolate mochi that you can get in Yo!Sushi. To be honest, they’re pretty good.

@Su-Lin – you can get mochi making kits *leaves computer and dashes for the door* – i am so getting one of those. They sound great.

And finally, a use for the microwave that has sat unused and unloved in our kitchen since we moved in 2 years ago.

LOVE mochi. Have you seen the kits you can buy to make it at home. Alas, they specify a microwave (which I don’t have) but I wonder if there’s a good substitute – steaming?

@Kitchen Butterfly – oh, that sounds lovely (although i did have to google ‘croquembouche’). Did they not all stick together though?

@catty – they do icecream mochi. Oooooo. And now I want to go to Tsuru too. Anywhere that does a good mochi has my vote (not sure what for – primeminister? mochi mayor?).

And as for the Japan Centre – i totally agree: NOT BAD AT ALL
