Sukashi

Sukashi is a traditional Japanese confectionery made from rice flour, sugar, and water. It is a type of mochi, which is a staple in Japanese cuisine, and is often enjoyed as a snack or dessert. Sukashi is known for its chewy texture and mild sweetness, making it a popular choice for those who prefer a less sugary treat. The process of making sukashi involves mixing rice flour with water to form a dough, which is then kneaded and shaped into small, round balls. These balls are typically boiled in water until they become translucent and chewy. Sukashi can be flavored with various ingredients such as kinako (roasted soybean flour), matcha (green tea powder), or other natural flavors, adding a unique twist to the traditional recipe. It is often served at festivals, events, and as a gift during special occasions. Sukashi is not only a delightful treat but also a reflection of Japanese culinary artistry and cultural heritage.
