Mochi?

[grungy hamster]

How often do you eat it?

I've only had it once, but I fucking love the stuff.

[Kwiz]

It's good.. espescially anko mochi...

[羽之助]

Daifuku rules.

[grungy hamster]

Yeah, that's the stuff I had.

Oh man, so tasty.

[grungy hamster]

Well, I had the anko mochi, haven't had daifuku though.

[Frankey-eh]

I love mochi with .... everything!

it's also led to quite a few death from suffocation on new years
which is kinda sad.... to die on new years.

[Niff]

I don't touch the stuff.. tastes like glue, IMO. Don't ask me how I know what glue tastes like.

Then again, if it's covered in chocolate sauce and got a strawberry in the middle, I'll eat it. Mmm.. chocolate..

[grungy hamster]

Well, I suppose anko mochi is a type of daifuku, so I guess I have had daifuku.

I think....aren't they different?
mochi is hot and very melty.
daifuku is cold mochi that's very sticky.

great. now I have a craving for both.

I don't know for certain, but that's what it said on wikipedia when I typed in anko mochi.

[Yang]

could anyone post a pic of both? just to watch how they look like....im too lazy find it by myself =P

I mention this because the person who started this thread has hamster in the name...I gave some mochi to my little ham-ham and she loved the stuff. That is how she got like this:

mochi, but these have no fillings.

but am I the only one who gagged after reading on wiki that there's custard daifuku?

Japanese are starting to put custard in everything now... first manjyuu, and now mochi? :bleh:

[Komachi Angel]

I like Mochi, but only really eat it around New Year's. For the stuff they sell in supermarkets, I usually go for yokan (which is a personal favorite) instead. Although, my local supermarket does sell Yukimi Daifuku, which is basically vanilla ice cream wrapped in mochi.

I haven't tried the custard ones, but the ice cream daifuku are awesome. The Asian market in my hometown always sells out of the mango and green tea ones (made in Cali), so you have to go buy them on their shipment day to secure them! The Chinese guy in my office sometimes buys us daifuku aisu when he is in a bad mood and hurts all our feelings to make it up to us. :clap:

Yes, hamsters do, indeed, rock.

I wish I were responsible enough to take care of one.

I got my name from The Pillows, in the ending song to FLCL.

They also say revengeful lobster, I am quite curious as to why lobsters would ever need to be revengeful.

I know that :D about the daifuku ice thing
But those are literally, FROZEN daifuku
and they REALLY well at our school's club fair. a dollar for three of them.

[羽之助]

Wait, so if I freeze daifuku it just turns into some other kind of awesome goodness??? Sweet!

[EIJI]

ice-daifuku, Yukimi-daifuku

Eiji, that is the exact stuff I was talking about - same box and everything. Nice.

[Akagaminosteven]

Azuki ftw y'all.

[Rogue_7]

I had mochi topping on okonomiyaki the other day. it rocked hard.

Heh. Japanese bands wouldn't be caught dead using grammatically correct English. It's not grungy hamster, it's "grunge hamster," and there's no "ful" in the "revenge lobster."

The Pillows are awesome, though. None of the Japanese people I have met so far know of them, though.

I love mochi too. There's a cake shop in my area that makes daifuku with fresh cake, whipped cream, and fresh strawberries. It's soft and sweet and at least 500% better than the strawberry daifuku that you can get at the supermarkets here. I can't eat the plain supermarket kind anymore.

My favorite is mochi soup. Not the New Year's kind. Some ladies in my village made this soup once that was basically a standard meat/veggies/miso type soup, and they stuck little balls of fresh mochi in it. Good god, it was delicious.

[JusenkyoGuide]

I'm all about the mochi.

My only issue is that my fiancee's family still makes it the old fashioned way for New Year's. Swinging that mallet's a man's job and all of her male relatives are tickled pink to turn that task over to the large American.

Good news is that I get hand made mochi every year. The bad news is that I have apparently volenteered to pound mochi for the rest of my natural life. :P

Oh man, I'm kind of jealous, that sounds pretty tasty.

Now that I think about it, they don't actually say it correctly, oh well, I suppose that's how I remember it.

Thanks for the correction, though. :duh:
