Kiri Mochi are  unsweetened mochi that are packaged in a hard, dried form for cooking. These can be easily warmed in the microwave until soft and gooey, baked in the oven until puffy and browned, or even toasted in a waffle maker for a unique shape or fried in the pan. Marumochi are used in a variety of preparations, such as for savory ozoni soup during the New Year celebrations, or topped with sweet condiments for a dessert. Try it yourself, you will love it!
