Mochi is a popular Japanese dessert that's typically made with glutinous rice flour and sweet fillings like red bean paste or fruit. It has a unique texture that's soft and chewy on the outside with a sweet and creamy filling on the inside. While Mochi is commonly enjoyed during special occasions like New Year's Day, it's a delicious treat that can be enjoyed any time of the year.
