If you’re interested in trying a traditional Asian confectionary, then wagashi might be just what you’re looking for. Wagashi is very similar in texture to mochi and is made using simple ingredients including things such as sugar, fruit, agar, wheat, beans and rice. You can buy wagashi in the store, but many people in Asia will typically opt to make it from scratch.

If you’re a fan of mochi, then you’ll love these! Chiroro Choco Mochi are individually wrapped, mini-sized mochi that have a yummy chocolate flavor that’s been a hit since the 60s.
