What Is Warabimochi?

Warabimochi (warabi-mochi) is a traditional Japanese dessert. What does WarabiMochi taste like? It is made from bracken starch (warabiko) and is covered or dipped in sweet toasted soybean flour (kinako). The sugar syrup called kuromitsu is often used to add sweetness to warabi mochi. It has a chewy and jelly texture and is served chilled, making this treat an excellent option for hot days.

By the way, this dessert has a long and eventful history. It is believed that warabimochi was a popular delicacy among the aristocracy during the Heian period (794-1185) in Japan, and it was even one of Emperor Daigo’s favourite treats.

What is the difference between mochi and warabimochi? Warabimochi differs from the traditional mochi. Mochi is made from glutinous rice and has a sticky texture. Even though warabi mochi is considered a type of mochi, it has another key ingredient, and warabimochi’s jelly-like texture makes it softer than traditional mochi.

This mouthwatering treat is very popular in Japan and is often sold by food trucks (just like ice cream). Despite this popularity, finding this treat outside Japan is pretty hard. However, there is a company that is working hard to bring an incredible taste of warabi mochi to more countries of the world, and we invite you to learn more about it.

How to make Warabi Mochi?

If you want to improve your culinary skills and make your homemade warabi mochi, prepare several ingredients and be in a good mood – and let this culinary journey begin.

Ingredients for Warabi Mochi:

¾ cup bracken starch (warabiko)
½ cup sugar
1¾ cups water

For the Toppings:

¼ cup roasted soybean flour (kinako)
black sugar syrup (kuromitsu)

Warabi Mochi Recipe:

Gather all the ingredients together. Sprinkle kinako powder on a baking sheet.
Add warabiko, sugar, and water into a saucepan and mix them until the warabi mochi mixture becomes smooth.
Heat the warabi mochi mixture over medium heat until it starts to boil. Then, reduce the heat and stir continuously with a wooden spatula for ten minutes (or until the mixture is thick).
Remove the mixture from the heat. Pour it onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle more kinako on warabi mochi. Leave it in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to cool down.
When warabi mochi is cool enough, cut the dessert into bite-sized square pieces. Cover all surfaces of the warabi mochi with kinako powder – and you can serve it! Add kuromitsu to taste. Bon Appetit!

We should note that 100% warabi starch is quite expensive and hard to get (even in Japan). So, why is warabi mochi so expensive? Now you know the answer. You can replace it with tapioca starch, kudzu starch, potato starch, or experiment with other substitutions.
