I am wondering if anybody has seen Kiri mochi for sale here… I am pretty sure I have but don’t remember where - certainly not in Carrefour (except a small expensive and temporary variety in the Japanese import section with Disnry characters on them).
Supposedly it’s pretty common, I just don’t know that it is here.
Kiri mochi is the kind of mochi that is sold in little blocks so you can prepare it yourself. It’s the main image in the Wikipedia article for mochi:
I know not every Carrefour has the same stock, but I recall seeing mochi in some supermarket in the open-refrigeration section, near the korean rice cakes and mantou. Could have been a carrefour - but not my local one as I just checked there.
The one they had was disney-branded and was $165 for 280g, which is very little (a large handfull).
Oh good idea, thanks! I don’t do online shopping here so it didn’t even occur to me to use it for food.
Looks like it’s about half price compared to those disney ones at Carrefour. Good thing is it doesn’t need to be refrigerated so I feel more comfortable buying it online.
Hopefully a supermarket stocks it though so I don’t have to figure out how to shop online here
Anybody else seen them? I found some at Jasons but (understandably) at double the price of what’s on Shopee. I’ll probably end up buying them from shopee unless somebody has a tip on a supermarket that might sell them here.
