MAUI- Visitors WE Love Mochi

The picture to the left is a pastry like food from Japan, it is called a Mochi (Mo chee). The outer part that holds the middle in is made of mochi rice flour, the texture is soft to the touch, and when done right it melts in your mouth, somewhat of a neutral taste, the center holds all the flavors.


This Mochi is filled with creamy peanut butter, nice and sweet and pea nutty. A friend at work brought these into the office the other day, and yours truly whacked about 6, ate them with some hot coffee, and I was in heaven man! So if you are wondering what locals love, we do love us some Mochi.
Other fillings include sweet Adzuki beans, Taro, Apples, and just about anything sweet the chef can come up with.
