Mochi is a traditional Japanese sweet treat made from glutinous rice, also known as sticky rice or sweet rice. It is a soft and chewy dessert that is often enjoyed during special occasions and holidays in Japan. 
Mochi can be eaten on its own, but it is often filled with various sweet fillings, such as sweetened red bean paste (anko), strawberries, ice cream, or matcha-flavored cream. These fillings are typically wrapped inside small round or square-shaped mochi pieces.
Mochi comes in a variety of flavors and colors, often reflecting seasonal ingredients or traditional flavors. Some popular variations include matcha (green tea), sakura (cherry blossom), yomogi (mugwort), and kinako (roasted soybean flour).
Mochi is enjoyed by people of all ages and has gained popularity worldwide as a unique and delightful dessert.
