Oh my gosh this is just what I wanted. I’ve had this type of Mochi (got it on Amazon) but didn’t really know what to do with it. Recently I’ve been cutting a block into thirds and I add it to the instant ramen when I add the noodles (my type ramen has to cook 4 minutes). This turns out great and really adds a nice component to the ramen. Thanks for this video!!! my Mochi service grows.

[@Olive_O_Sudden]

I've never had savoury or unsweetened mochi. They look like delicious little pillows. This is something I must try.

[@hkrhsh]

Yeah! In Japan when you say 'mochi' the first things that comes to their minds is the unflavored/plain mochi.

[@KahiauT]

We make our own maru mochi every year so we never buy kiri mochi. We do eat it sometimes with kinako or as isobeyaki but that is the first time I've seen it with natto! Also yummy variations are butter shoyu mochi (like isobeyaki but with butter) and moffles in a waffle maker (since we don't have a moffuru maker) or we will broil them for our ozoni. Also - Since we make our own mochi sometimes we cut a dried mochi into cubes and fry them in oil for homemade "popped" arare... oishii! Love you both! Thank you for sharing these different ways of preparing kiri mochi!

[@secretdiaryofafoodie]

Kahiau T ooh butter shoyu mochi and using a waffle maker (which I have!) are great suggestions, thank you!

[@mij197]

hi! may i know how you dry the mochi to make kirimochi? and how long can you store the dried one? :)

[@koko-rl9zm]

I put it in a waffle maker and it's gets nice crunchy and toasty. Then put anko on it. I'm going to try your way too!

[@Industryworth]

I had no idea people ate mochi as a savory food. it looks so good

[@popgas3821]

Yeah, I actually learned too that they put blocks of it on a tofu pouch with minced shiitake and some ground chicken meat with seasonings and cooked together with fish cakes in an Oden hot pot, the soup is dashi based, clearly a savory dish.

[@Xessa82]

From what I understand savory is more popular than sweet mochi.

[@Relco12]

this is the original

[@JLF909]

I'm Hmong and we love mochi too! We use a bread maker to knead the glutinous rice to make big batches. Love it! If you fry it with a little oil then sprinkle it with just a touch of salt after it's crispy and done, it's also really addicting.

[@secretdiaryofafoodie]

J Lee that's a great idea about the bread maker if I want/need to make my own at home! I didn't think I'd be able to get it smooth enough, thanks for the tip 😁

[@Catglittercrafts]

I love that framed quote in the background. It's so true

[@geneard639]

I tried the microwaved mochi with chocolate using two squares of a frozen Ritter Sport Milk Chocolate Bar. That was SO WORTH IT! Very Yummy.

[@videofreakcologne]

Found a Pack Kiri Mochi with the individual Packed in a Japanese Supermarket here in the City Düsseldorf in Germany and just tryed the isobeyaki. Delicious, a way i never tasted a Mochi, always had the sweet kind.

[@TabiEats]

Hope you enjoyed it

[@anitakinman8881]

We're shutdown for 3 weeks in Kentucky 😿 so I'm trying Tabieats mochi recipes. So far I'm pretty proud of myself 😺 All the recipes are a success.....thank you 😊

[@acm831]

My grandma just brought us a big pack so I'm glad you guys did this video because before I only ate it with the soy sauce! Now I have more recipes to try out!

[@malinawassman5050]

Where do we purchase

[@5dfeminine]

I love anko and I love mochi!! I need to try kirimochi with anko

[@CytoplasmikZombies]

I would love to see a more in-depth video on homemade mochi and how to handle it differently compared to this block stuff! ♥️

[@michellesovereign4564]

I'm making this tonight. Thanks for your help.

[@vhalia]

just learned to eat mochi lately and your video is fantastic on how easy to make other variations

[@crazybigyo]

Thank you for sharing. I like trying and making new foods.

[@user-ei8rb3mf3r]

This is Cat from Brooklyn NY!🐱 THANKS for the video! I love you guys!💝☮🐱

[@Bhlabhli]

I've always wondered how to eat those things after seeing them in the shops. Thanks, guys!

[@plejade4125]

Oooh thank you so so much, last week I bouht some of them and now I have sooo many options to enjoy them *^* I tried to grill them in the oven right unter the grill, it worked pretty well on the grilling part, but they didn't puff up like yours in the pan so I will try this today ^^

[@danielt6689]

Great video. My absolute favorite is to daikonoroshi: bite-size pieces of fresh mochi in a bowl of grated daikon and shoyu. Fresh is best in this case because it is so soft. We used to do this with the last batch at our mochitsuki. At the end, we would drop a big bowlfull of freshly grated daikon into the usu, pour in shoyu then drop in the freshly pounded mochi in dumpling sized pieces. The usu would be a giant sized serving bowl from which everyone could help themselves. This would be our lunch for the mochitsuki crew.

[@jun.oshima]

Agree, fresh mochi, daikonoroshi & shoyu is good. But I prefer adding natto to the mixture you explained.

[@secretdiaryofafoodie]

Sounds delicious!

[@secretdiaryofafoodie]

Great suggestions, looking forward to trying these! Another delicious way I've had it is char-grilled & beaten into a cylinder shape with tongs while it's being turned as it starts to puff up (so the surface gets really well cracked like the first one), then drizzled with sweetened condensed milk. Tastes like a roasted marshmallow but not as sickly sweet & with a great chewy texture, soo good 😍😋

[@londonpelen9157]

Hi guy's how you doing good to see you love these recipes that u are sharing thanks stay safe God BLESS to all of u

[@Rayden3003]

Its similar to our "TIKOY" here in the Philippines. My favorite is with sweet ground peanut filling!

[@Shokupan982]

So interesting! I've never had boiled mochi out of the context of ozoni. My mother used to make kinako mochi for me as a kid. Wow, what a special memory! She also used to serve mochi with butter, shoyu, sugar, and wrapped in nori. I'd love to try natto mochi. I can't wait to try your recipes. I bought my kirimochi today. Thanks so much and wishing you both all the best in 2018!

[@rozinha3377]

Mochi is delicious, I tried to make it today but my rice had to much water... I will try another time The ones we buy at the store are oishii, I can imagine the ones that are home made... hummmm Thank you for your recipes... Ohaio gosaimasu

[@allicat215]

Thank you guys! I also wondered about how to mke use of them as well! couldn't stop salivating as I watched 😆😆

[@TheEvilEve2012]

I really like watching you and Mikey Chin videos. I hope you guys make each other happy for a long long time

[@kurbverobel2112]

You guys are really funny to watch, thanks for all those tricks

[@Juanelo1946]

Guys, I was fascinated by the history of mochi! The chocolate mochi is a very enticing creation! OMG they all look fantastic!

[@TabiEats]

Hey! So good to see you! Hope you enjoyed your Christmas!

[@Dani_sister4peace]

I love your poster behind you! I refuse to grow up too

[@shanaenguyen7122]

I'm loving that Christmas tree :) Thanks for a fun video

[@devibeem]

That new editing is on point, great job

[@praveen1631]

Excellent work

[@anniesmidley8188]

Once we stay in Osaka hotel during new year, they made mocha from the scratch it’s an over night thing, it so good and warm they have different fillings. Geez I miss it

[@xieyxiey5117]

I lived in Japan for almost a year and I love love anko mochi and kinakomochi 💓💓💓

[@SatanSupimpa]

My name is Netto, I think I'm almost a japanese fermented soybean.

[@yaukalam1852]

SatanSupimpa hahahaha

[@paulinesian3857]

😂 okay, so.. you also smell like one? 😋

[@SatanSupimpa]

Never ate, have no idea how it smells like. But by the looks, I hope don't.

[@shock3r975]

SatanSupimpa c

[@bonsaibaby8257]

Once your name changes to Nato you Will be a Japanese fermented soybean.😁

[@alinelege9908]

Fantastisch! I will try out the chocolate type for sure! Keep on posting, because I enjoy looking TabiEats.美味しそう！ 😋

[@DessertGeek]

I just end up eating all my mochi grilled! Though now I want some with cheese, because cheese. (There's a restaurant in West Seattle that has grilled mochi with anko on the menu, and it is the BEST.)

[@DessertGeek]

Mashiko! It's not always on the menu, so you can call in advance and check too! (The grilled mochi is pretty standard, the anko not so much.)

[@coffeeandpeach]

GUYS THIS IS AWESOME,! My local asian market sells this block style mochi amd i never knew how to prepare it!! I will definitley try this out!!

[@ichbinmelle9048]

thank you for sharing!!! i wanted to make hot zenzai with yakimochi today and i wasn't sure if i can heat the mochi block on stove! これでストーブで餅を焼いても問題ないですね！！！ありがとうございます！

[@ivykaneshiro7554]

Wow learn something new everyday....I like my mochi dissolved in soup, ozoni... have you ever slice it about 1/2 inch thick and dry in the sun. When the liquid is out then you fry it....then you sprinkle furikake and there you have your mochi crunch, arare

[@club789456]

Love your guys channel!!

[@mindysmom6132]

Ohayogozaimasu Brothers! I just bought 2 large bags of kiri mochi, in preparation of Oshogatsu. Since my mother scared me as a young child-by telling me that children “die” from choking on mochi every year, I have never had Ozoni with mochi in it. I do, however, have isobeyaki mochi on the side. I love all of the styles that you shared! I especially loved brother Satoshi’s excitement when the mochi was puffing up! ☺️ Aside from loving isobeyaki style, I also love kinako. That natto version tho! I will have to try it! Thank you for sharing, because I had no idea that you could grill mochi in a frying pan or boil it in water. I’ve always used a yaki ami on my stovetop. I can’t wait to see your Osechi ryori videos!! I truly hope you’re feeling better brother! ♥️

[@erinuber2881]

Mindy's Mom All of the mochi variations looked so delicious, didn't they, sister? I hope you enjoy your New Year's celebration with your family and loved ones. It sounds like it will be an amazing feast! Sending hugs your way. ((((((hugs))))))

[@mindysmom6132]

Erin Uber..... Sister, YES! As soon as I saw the anko version, I thought of you! ❤️ Now that Christmas has passed, its time to finish grocery shopping for all of the ingredients for our Osechi ryori. This will be the most that have ever visited. Whew! Thank you for the ((hugs)) sister! I certainly need them! ♥️

[@erinuber2881]

Mindy's Mom I thought of you, too, my friend. I know you love anko also! I hope everything will go well as you shop for the rest of your ingredients and do the final preparations for your Osechi Ryori. It sounds like it will be a lot of special people coming together at your place. I'm sure they'll love all of the delicious food! They'll also be so glad to be with you, and with each other, at such a wonderful holiday. Hugs continuing. (((((Mindy's Mom)))))

[@tomi1964]

I just bought a bag of of blocks! And Nato! Thank you for this!!!

[@tofujordi]

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! i have a giant bag and i had no idea what to do with it!!

[@TokidokiMoozarella]

These look like great snacks to have anytime 😋

[@tracierd9766]

Mochi is one of my favorite foods! Especially the fresh ones my buddhist temple makes on mochitsuki. I love having it melted into my Ozoni on New Years.I can't wait... only 6 more days!!

[@donnamikasa]

Can't wait to try the natto mochi--I think that would be my favorite too! Thanks for sharing this!

[@dennistani1986]

I hope you liked the natto mochi!

[@lyci.]

Just went and got the ingredients! Can't wait to try it!

[@dennistani1986]

I hope your mochi came out well!!

[@JohnnyParanoid]

Isobeyaki style is my favorite, too! Thanks, as always, for your vids!

[@pipster06]

おいしそう！作り痛いです。ありがとうございました。I have these rice blocks at home from the local Japanese market, now I know some nice ways to eat it :D

[@kathlinemoore7810]

I love the first mochi..we always had it on New Years Day💜💜💜💜

[@everybodysauntjill2048]

I tried Anko mochi tonight and I fell in love with it!!

[@briesulit]

Love the small animations you included on this video! 💕

[@pennaverdeful]

Yea me too, actually this is maybe the first time I saw on this channel, probably because is more work. Anyway the quality content still remain, with or without animations! :D

[@aliciaseecharan]

Sushi Sandwiches are gaining popularity with home cooks. I think mochi has competition. Cool video. Happy Holidays :)

[@mamandu0378]

I thinkmy favorite way of eating mochi is wrapping for filling the mochi with cheese and then dipping it in soy sauce and vinegar and then wrapping it with nori or what we call in korea Gim. It's so satisfying

[@sirrellphillips6509]

I pan fried my kiri mochi until its crispy and tossed it in a honey butter sauce topped with toasted sesame. Its so good!!

[@francesbaez230]

Omg thanks for the recipes of mochi i have to try all

[@jocelynwhitephotos]

I’m so happy I discovered your channel! I bought some of the packaged mochi from Bokksu Market a while ago because I thought it would be fun to try, but I’ve never prepared them before. Thanks for sharing!😊

[@Tbehartoo]

So cute and so sweet! That looks really good! I don't think I'm adventurous enough to try the nato mochi, but I'd love to try the anko one. I guess one bean appeals over the other? Thanks for sharing this!

[@panko6779]

I'm from Hong Kong, and I bought this mochi. IM SO LUCKY

[@rhyndawatson4173]

Lol you guys make my day, the mochi looks delicious

[@a.w.3438]

I tried an ice cream mochi once and i was amazed. it was so yummy!

[@Rohvannyn]

I know it's been a while since yo posted this but thank you so much for making this video! I just fried up my very first block of kirimochi, tried with just a little Yamasa shoyu, after it was flipped half a million times (or so it seems). It was so good! Perfectly toasty on the outside and gooey on the inside. I'm looking forward to making more and glad I bought a one kilo bag. Without your demonstration I probably never would have tried it!

[@BlessedRayna]

Best snack!

[@Sabrina96]

Love mochi in various preparations. So delicious. I've relocated and there are no markets in current location to buy mochi. Have to drive and get a bunch of stuff soon. Have considered making it myself with the sweet rice flour but couldn't find anko. Those varieties you made look great and will be trying them. Happy New Year!

[@NikaBoyce]

I usually just toast these under the broiler in the oven then put into miso soup. Def gonna try the nori wrapped one. Going to try to find some kinako powder too

[@maelim4787]

The chocolate sounds delicious. I am going to try it!

[@MsLilly200]

I tried making isobeyaki today, tastes kinda like melted cheese. So good. I'll have to look around for kinako powder and anko, to try with those too.

[@kellidalton2892]

I might have to try some of these. Normally I get the small peanut shaped mochi and pan grill them, and then put either peanut butter or barbeque sauce on them.

[@terezaueti5250]

[@KaeWinters]

磯辺焼きを食べた事ないですけど美味しそう！私はきな粉を付けた餅が一番好きです。

[@TabiEats]

磯辺焼き、美味しいですよ。ぜひ試してみてください。ありがとうございます。

[@Presca1]

I had mochi with kinako coating once, it's really good

[@waterlily43]

There is a similar type of snack to kinako(?) mochi in Singapore called Muah Chee which is coated with sugar and grated peanut. It is cut into tiny pieces and eaten with toothpicks. One of my favorite childhood snacks :)

[@MsSayaB]

美味しそうですね～お餅大好きです。日本に帰るといつも母が餅をついてくれるので沢山持って帰ってきます。すごい重いんですけどね。砂糖醤油も美味しいですよ～。チョコレート餅食べたことがないので真似してみます！

[@TabiEats]

+MsSayaB つきたてを持って帰られるんですね、最高です！重そうですけど...でも荷物の超過料金覚悟で持って帰りたいですよね。チョコ餅、美味しいですよ～。美味しくて甘いチョコがオススメです！

[@VanillaAnimations]

Oh man I loved eating mochi with kinako!

[@Lilyium]

Can you please make a homemade dango recipe (from shiratamako) with different flavours like matcha, sakura or rose water etc? Thank you. 😊 I hope you both have wonderful new year, sending my regards from Australia.

[@TabiEats]

Sure!

[@JadenYukifan28]

I've had Mochi before and it was so good, even with Anko!!

[@paranoiarpincess]

Thanks guys! Happy Holidays!

[@asma4858]

I made the soy sauce one and it's so good and made a simple sweet one by just dipping it into sweetened condensed milk and it's also delicious

[@pjh1215]

Once baked mochi in the oven and added butter to it. Wasn't too impressed that, but I'll have to try some of these.

[@annealicia2585]

I hope I can find that mochi at the supermarket. I want to put it in nabe and try those recipes during new year 😄

[@sayangsarina]

Your videos are always so therapeutic... Hahahha.

[@MissMegzie]

Oh Man! I cant wait to try the Isobeyaki version! My boyfriend just made me the Kinako version on new years, he was so excited because he used to eat it as a kid when his grandma made it for him. ^_^ It was delicious! But I am definitely a savory person. I love soy sauce and nori. ;-)

[@ItsMe-wl5ox]

I love the shoyu one. I sprinkle a little bit of sugar. Yummy

[@lindarosenthal6835]

Lovely. Thank you. Will be trying these recipes!

[@dudylifestyle]

OMG guys it looks yummy but i have never tasted it and have no idea how it will be like :) :) i will look for sure for a japanese resturant in Egypt to try it ^_^ ♥ loved the video and the history part of the mochi ♥

[@TabiEats]

Hey friend! It so good to see you again! We miss you guys!!!

[@TheCptCoy]

Its chewy and it tastes like very sweet rice

[@AkiraMeow]

Outside of Japan: Aeon Mall/Marts Chains have them. I love the blocks of Mochi. They're fast and reliable if I'm at home hungry. I microwave them in a bowl of water using the package instructions. I add my premade Red Bean Paste (Mixed with Black Sesame Seeds to cut the Sweetness) on top and enjoy. :D

[@heidinseeeek]

I just bought ingredients for 3 of these recipes (and might get ingredients for the kinako one soon) and I can't wait to try them out!

[@macbrewster2392]

Funny, i have those very cooking chop sticks I bought in Yokohama, or near there anyway. We were looking for the Thai Young Coconuts for my cooking class and there we found a very good organic food shop. In there I got those exact chop sticks.

[@rinnagain5690]

I will have to get some Mochi online or make it from scratch...Id love to try these

[@chuckhandcock8867]

I live in Montana and purchased mochi from Marukai Mrkt. In Los Angeles
