Agemochi

Agemochi is a cherished Japanese snack that is both simple and delectable. It begins with mochi, which is dried and then cut into small cubes, approximately 1 cm each. These pieces are then deep-fried until they puff up beautifully. Traditionally, agemochi is enjoyed with a light sprinkling of salt, but it can also be found in various flavors. A popular variation is shichimi agemochi, where the fried mochi is coated in a spicy shichimi seasoning.

Agemochi is readily available in stores throughout Japan, but it’s also a beloved homemade treat. Whether you purchase it or prepare it at home, agemochi delivers a delightful crunch and a taste that is undeniably irresistible.
