Kuzumochi
(葛餅, 久寿餅, Kuzu Mochi, Kudzu Mochi, Kuzuko Powder Mochi)
Kuzumochi is a light Japanese dessert made with starchy kuzuko powder. This natural and unprocessed powder is extracted from the kuzu plant and is widely used in Japan as a thickening agent. To make kuzumochi, it is simply dissolved in sweetened water and the mixture is poured in molds and left to set.
Kuzumochi is characterized by its gelatinous texture and mild flavor, which make it a perfect summer dessert. It is usually served chilled, dusted with roasted soybean powder and doused in brown sugar syrup.
