Quick Glance: Origins of Japanese Mochi and Similar Rice Snack Names in Hong Kong and Taiwan
  • March 3 is Hinamatsuri - Dolls' Day or Girls' Day - in Japan. A typical food for this festival is the multicolored rice cakes called Hishi Mochi.

  • Mochi is a rice cake made of Mochigome, a short-grain glutinous rice that is pounded into a paste and molded into shapes, often with fillings or flavors, for traditional Japanese sweets, or grilled or cooked in soups.

  • Home-made production of Mochi increased in the 6th century; it was part of imperial offerings at religious events in the Heian period (794-1185) and was served to nobility during the Muromachi period (1336-1573), an indispensable part of the tea ceremony.

  • It is interesting to note that the classic Taiwanese snack of pounded glutinous rice rolled in toppings such as toasted peanuts or black sesame actually comes from the Japanese Mochi, with two non-standard characters invented to represent the word's pronunciation.
