Thanks to globalisation, I don’t even have to set foot in Japan to enjoy its delightful desserts.

Does this sight whet your appetite? Warabimochi is a type of mochi made from warabiko (bracken starch) which has a light and silky smooth texture. My curiosity is piqued. Would the mochi really melt in my mouth?

I immediately bought a box. The mochi looked amazing, their texture being enhanced by roasted kinako (soybean powder) and drizzled with kuromistu syrup made from Okinawa brown sugar. I tucked into them and relished how they were smoothly gobbled down my throat.
