Ritirma

Ritirma is a traditional Japanese confectionery made from rice flour, sugar, and water. It is a type of mochi, a popular Japanese dessert, and is often enjoyed during the summer months. The name "ritirma" is derived from the Japanese words "ritto" (rice) and "ma" (powder), reflecting its primary ingredient. Ritirma is typically prepared by mixing rice flour with water to form a dough, which is then kneaded and shaped into small, round balls. These balls are then boiled in water until they become translucent and slightly firm. After boiling, the ritirma is coated in a sweet syrup made from sugar and water, which gives it a glossy appearance and a sweet flavor. Ritirma is often served chilled and is a popular treat for its refreshing taste and chewy texture. It is also commonly used as a topping for other desserts, such as ice cream and fruit salads. Ritirma is a simple yet delicious dessert that showcases the versatility of rice flour and its ability to create a wide range of confections.
