Satoh's Kirimochi (Rice Cake) 35.3oz [Japan Import]

This mochi is as I remembered when I was a child. My mom mixed soy sauce & sugar together as a dipping sauce. Couldn’t wait for the mochi to rise under the broiler & get a little burnt. Delicious..worth the cost.

I was really skeptical about this but I figured I'd give it a shot since I can't just buy it when I want it around here.Color me pleasantly surprised.I had to work through some image translating to work out how to cook them up - my japanese reading skills are pretty much zero. And trial and error resulted in an interesting rice cracker like result in the microwave - my fault completely. ( Of course, honestly... I tried it and with some kikkoman, it actually tasted pretty good. )I've had fresh made and I've had frozen... and I love mochi. So after I worked out the kinks in prep, I have to say that these are pretty decent, even nuked up in a couple minutes with soy sauce... The taste and texture is pretty good - really not that far off from the frozen ones I've had. It isn't quite as good as fresh, but nothing compares to fresh. But it is definitely good and a worthwhile replacement for all the times when fresh is either not available, or you don't have the time to make it.Will definitely buy again

Very tasty, and worth the price absolutely love them.

After living in Japan, if you know, you know. It’s comfort food in my house. Served with either kinako, nori and shoyu, mochi waffles for brunch, or deep fried with dashi, grated daikon and scallions, one of my kids favorites is cut into smaller sizes and deep fried and then served on top of udon noodle bowl, they love to hear the hot sizzle of the mochi touching the broth. Food is love and the silence of smiles and slurps lets me know they are receiving my heart.We make fresh mochi from time to time for holidays from whole brown sweet rice, but tbh I like this texture better.And don’t forget grilling. Plus this large bag is much better for the price. I’ve paid nearly this much for a mere 7 pieces. Now we can have it all the time

It's actually a good selling point I got mine at a good sale date so since I ate already I figured I would try them sweet first. I fried them in a pan with a little butter, sugar and apple pie spice and it was so good while cooking you watched for them to start giving and you know they are done the parts not as seasoned are still good but i lnow from other recipes I have seen they are good spicy, with cheese, meat and veggies, whatever you want. To me they are filling so even if it seems pricey just one or two cut up can add to a meal. Worth a try.

This is like a chewy mozzarella. The flavor is bland but it is great coated with honey, soy or fruit.

These are very good and easy to cook. The mochi tastes good, and is not dry. They are individually wrapped. Kinda spendy, but seems like everything is these days. Good purchase!

If you’re like me, you probably didn’t read the package correctly before ordering. you received the bag thinking it was squishy sweet mochi, well surprise, it isn’t! Don’t knock it until you try it. If you can’t read the japanese on the back, open up google translate (japanese to english) and point your camera option at it. Google will do the work for you. I tried to microwave in a plate with water, turned to mush, really awkward to eat. I then looked up some videos on how to cook it, and the pan fry method is by far the best. Plus the sweet soy sauce trick was amazing. Price is a bit much but it’s nice to know it can sit in my pantry for a min without going bad. Will buy again!
