Mochi is a recipe introduced in Cooking Mama: Cook Off. It also appears in Cooking Mama 5: Bon Appétit!, with variations in Cooking Mama: Let's Cook! and Cooking Mama: Sweet Shop.
Info[]
Mochi is a Japanese rice cake one can make by pounding glutinous rice. The starch in this rice when cooked is what creates its profound stickiness. It is very squishy and chewy, but it can be a choking hazard if they are not careful when eating it. As demonstrated in the Cooking Mama series, mochi is not strictly a sweet/dessert and can be used in savory applications.

Trivia[]
The three kinds of mochi made in Cooking Mama: Cook Off closely resembles three real-life examples:
- Isobeyaki is made by grilling mochi and then adding soy sauce and seaweed.
- Oroshi mochi consists of mochi with grated daikon radish, though there are variations with sauce additions
- Kinako mochi uses kinako, a sweet roasted soybean flour that is commonly used in Japanese cuisine. This type of mochi makes a reappearance in Cooking Mama: World Kitchen under the name Rice Cake in Soybean Flour.
In Cooking Mama 5: Bon Appétit!, the following mochi are made:
- Kinako mochi, made with roasted soybean flour (see above).
- Zunda mochi is served with a sweetened paste made of edamame, a type of soybean enjoyed in Japanese cuisine. This type of mochi made a previous appearance in Cooking Mama 3: Shop & Chop under the name Mochi with Edamame Paste.
- Oroshi mochi, made with grated daikon radish (see above). While not shown in game, it appears that soy sauce was mixed in with the oroshi, the name of the aforementioned condiment.
