Probably my first halal warabimochi.

Never fails to satisfy one’s need to refresh in this suffocating heat.

As great a dessert as one should expect on a hot day.

They rock as much as they look like moss covered rocks. 🍀 #brackenfern

Store-bought and excellent. Refreshing on a searingly hot day.

Sweetened gelatinous blobs of goodness perfectly balanced with kinako and matcha powder. I didn’t know warabimochi could be packaged like that? Who knew I’d be able to prepare this at home??

A Tokuya specialty, and essentially what I came for. Their warabimochi is made with a high quality domestically-produced warabi (bracken starch) powder. Served with kuromitsu (black sugar syrup) and kinako (roasted soybean flour). At some point in the menu description, Wasanbon sugar (fine-grained Japanese sugar used in wagashi) was mentioned, but I’m not sure if it made an appearance in the warabi mochi or in the kuromitsu. 🤷🏻‍♀️

This was really refreshing.

Coated with kinako (roasted soy flour). The warabimochi itself is a bit too sweet for me, so it’s going to be green tea version from here on out.

AKA warabimochi AKA gelatinous blobs made of Bracken starch and covered in sweet toasted soybean flour. Refreshing dessert on a hot day.
