Mochi! Whether it's a green-tea flavored sphere or a frozen ice cream treat, everyone loves those little balls of... well, what is mochi, anyway?
Mochi is a Japanese confection made out of sweet rice and molded into various tasty shapes.

Everything we prepare in class you'll be able to easily make at home, especially if you have a microwave.
