Mochigome sticky rice for mochi from Niigata Prefecture - 1kg

Discover mochigome – traditional Japanese glutinous rice grown in Niigata Prefecture, famous for its excellent climate and pure water. Many of Japan’s finest rice varieties come from this region, where local farmers have perfected cultivation methods for generations to produce grains with ideal stickiness, sweetness, and texture.

Mochigome is the essential ingredient for making mochi – soft, chewy rice cakes enjoyed all year round in Japan, especially during the New Year. Once cooked, it becomes exceptionally sticky, making it easy to shape into balls, rectangles, or filled sweets.

Thanks to its natural sweetness and consistency, mochigome is perfect not only for desserts. You can use it to prepare:

• Mochi in classic form or with fillings (anko, fruit, creams)

• Sekihan – rice with red adzuki beans, served on festive occasions

• Rice dumplings, ozoni soups, or grilled isobe-yaki

• Fusion cuisine experiments – e.g., for gluten-free desserts and snacks
