mochis
Soft rice confections
Mochis is the plural of mochi, a Japanese rice cake made from glutinous rice pounded into a sticky, chewy paste.
Mochi appears in various forms—plain, filled with sweet bean paste, or wrapped around ice cream.
We picked up some mochis from the Asian grocery store.
The singular mochi sometimes serves as both singular and plural.
