It seemed like other good dessert -- great because it doesn't have the preservatives.HowChowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14214893123333124514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-89991251935700557112012-06-02T18:13:55.883-04:002012-06-02T18:13:55.883-04:00Sorry, I have absolutely no experience with mochi ...Sorry, I have absolutely no experience with mochi on the next day.

In my experience, "real" mochi doesn't age very well. HowChow, what was your experience? Did you purchase the mochi the same day it was made? Did the mochi have the same light consistencybmorecupcakenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-89498828404201748342012-06-01T16:16:17.655-04:002012-06-01T16:16:17.655-04:00@David -- I like the mochi from the refrigerated s...@David -- I like the mochi from the refrigerated sections of Asian stores, but it's not the same as La Boulangerie's mochi. The outside was incredible light and fluffy. It was like getting fresh bread from Bonaparte versus getting good bread at a supermarket.HowChowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14214893123333124514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6242128247197293599.post-46321136092404012772012-06-01T15:07:20.547-04:002012-06-01T15:07:20.547-04:00You can find it at Hmart or other asian grocery st...You can find it at Hmart or other asian grocery stores. I prefer the Japanese/Chinese mochi over the Korean ones.
