Q: Is daifuku the same as mochi?

Daifuku is a specific type of mochi. While mochi refers to the chewy rice cake itself, daifuku consists of a round mochi shell stuffed with sweet fillings, most commonly red bean paste (anko).

Q: What is strawberry daifuku (ichigo daifuku)?

Ichigo daifuku is a popular seasonal variety featuring a whole fresh strawberry wrapped in a layer of sweet bean paste and then encased in soft mochi. It is a perfect balance of tart fruit and sweet filling.

Q: Is daifuku mochi gluten-free?

Traditional daifuku is often gluten-free as it is made from glutinous rice flour. However, you should always check the specific product packaging on Yami for cross-contamination warnings or added ingredients that may contain gluten.

Q: How should I store my daifuku?

Daifuku is best enjoyed at room temperature to maintain its soft, chewy texture. If you need to store it, keep it in an airtight container. Some modern varieties with cream or fruit may require refrigeration.
