Ring in the New Year with a Daifuku Mochi, a popular Japanese dessert that consists of a sweet filling stuffed inside a soft and chewy mochi. Daifuku means great luck in Japanese and is commonly eaten during the New Year, although this sweet treat is eaten by many throughout the year. From mochi filled with your traditional sweet red bean paste (anko) to fillings like strawberry, matcha and even Oreo, there’s something for everyone.
Here are some of the best places for mochi in Toronto.
