I’ve been so busy doing a ton of custom orders that I almost forgot that it’s giveaway time!!!
So this month, I’m giving away a totally cute mochi purse charm (or keychain)! If you’ve never had mochi before, you’re missing out. Most people have it in ice cream but my favorite way when it’s wrapped around some sweet red bean paste and then covered in black roasted sesame seeds (called daifuku) – YUM!
Mochi is made from cooked rice that’s pounded and when done, the result is this chewy yummy Japanese treat, similar in texture to a marshmallow! Mochi can be sweet (perfectly not-too-sweet) and used in tons of desserts and snacks or even unsweetened and added to savory dishes. Monjayaki with cheese, mochi and spicy cod roe from GajaMoc (in Lomita, CA) or takoyaki with mochi and cheese from Asa Ramen (in Gardena, CA) are some of my favorites… Geez, I’m making myself hungry, um… back to the giveaway!
For all mochi-lovers out there, I’ve created a little purse charm / key chain with some traditional mochi treats – a mochi bunny, green tea mochi, pink mochi flower, mochi folded over sweet red bean paste, mochi with sweet red beans and a fresh juicy strawberry, and three flavors of mochi on a stick.
