Hoshi-mochi (Dried Mochi)
With a single bite, you experience a crisp, crumbly texture. After a light sensation that melts in your mouth, the gentle sweetness of the rice slowly spreads. This is a rustic dried mochi born from the winters of Aomori. Freshly pounded mochi is soaked with plenty of water and hung under the eaves on the coldest nights. Exposed to the biting cold winter wind and left to dry slowly for over a month—this process removes all excess moisture, creating that unique, crumbly texture. It can be enjoyed as is, or lightly toasted to enhance its aroma and bring out the sweetness of the rice. It is also delicious with butter or fried in oil until crispy. It is a Tsugaru winter snack that brings back fond memories of a grandmother's kitchen.
