Hishi mochi

(Hishimochi, 菱餅, ひしもち, Girl's Day Mochi)

Hishi mochi is a diamond-shaped Japanese treat made with glutinous mochi base. It usually consists of three different layers: the jasmine-flavored pink layer, the plain white layer infused with water chestnuts, and the bottom green layer flavored with mugwort.


Hishi mochi is a highly symbolic festive treat which is usually associated with Girl’s Day, a traditional Japanese holiday which celebrates the success and prosperity of young girls.
