Introduction

I chose Mochi Ice Cream because I believe it is delicious when served as a dessert. Mochi is a Japanese sticky rice cake used both in savory and sweet dishes. Mochi is usually made from sweet rice flour cooked and pounded until it becomes a paste that is very sticky and smooth. After the Mochi is prepared, it is then wrapped around a small ball of ice cream, also known as Mochi Ice Cream. The most known company that produce this product is named "Mikawaya," which you can order online from and chose a variety of flavors, or you can personally go to their store. Mochi Ice Cream is also found in any Trader Joe's located near you. The Company Mikawaya has been around since 1910, and are specialized in their fine, traditional pastries. The company was named after the founder Ryuzabulo Hashimoto's hometown region, Mikawa, in Japan.
