Today's brief note is on Daifuku!
🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸
Daifukumochi, or Daifuku, is a Japanese confection consisting of a small round mochi stuffed with sweet filling, most commonly anko, sweetened red bean paste made from azuki beans.
Nearly all daifuku are covered in a fine layer of corn or potato starch to keep them from sticking to each other, or to the fingers.
By the end of the 18th century, Daifuku were gaining popularity and people began eating them toasted. They were also used for gifts in ceremonial occasions.
Some versions contain whole pieces of fruit, mixtures of fruit and anko, or crushed melon paste. Some are covered with confectioner's sugar or cocoa powder.
