Mitarashi Dango Mochi
by
Yui Fukami
The sweet soy sauce glaze meets the chewy skewered mochi! This is a very unique combination, where the aroma of the soy sauce and the sweetness of sugar fill your mouth, and the chewy texture of the mochi is really addictively delicious.
This is an easy recipe that you can make any time you wish!
If you use tamari soy sauce, it will be gluten-free.
This is a classic and familiar street snack in the Kansai region of Japan, where I come from.
Warm and soft mochi always makes your heart feel better.
