Japanese wagashi / 和菓子Daifuku dates to the Edo period, when it was first known as harabuto ('fat belly') or uzura mochi. The name later shifted to daifuku, 'great luck', playing on the identical sound of the words for 'belly' and 'luck'; by the late 18th century it was a popular, sometimes toasted, everyday sweet.

Zubereitung

  1. Roll the red bean paste into eight even balls and set them aside so filling is ready before the mochi cools.

  2. Whisk the rice flour, sugar and water in a heatproof bowl until smooth with no lumps.

  3. Steam or microwave in short bursts, stirring between each, until the dough turns glossy, sticky and translucent.

    💡 Cook in stages and stir each time; even heating is what keeps the mochi smooth.

  4. Turn the hot mochi onto a surface generously dusted with starch and divide it into eight pieces.

  5. Flatten each piece into a disc, place a ball of paste in the centre, and pull the edges up to enclose it.

  6. Pinch the seam closed, turn the smooth side up, and brush off excess starch. Best eaten the same day.

💡 Tipps

  • Work fast while the mochi is warm — it turns firm and hard to shape as it cools.
  • Dust hands and surface well with starch so the sticky dough stays workable.
  • Tuck a whole strawberry in with the paste to make ichigo daifuku.
