Sobre este ingrediente
Japanese glutinous rice (mochigome) — distinct from the everyday short-grain rice (uruchimai) used as table rice. The high amylopectin / low amylose ratio creates the chewy, sticky texture central to mochi, daifuku, sekihan, okowa, and sake-brewing rice (some specialty grades). Niigata, Akita, and Iwate are the leading production regions; specific cultivars ('Hiyokumochi', 'Koganemochi', 'Shitsumochi') anchor regional confectionery traditions. Distinct from existing 'kinako' (roasted soy flour) and 'rice-bran' entries.
