FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
What is mochi crunch?
Mochi crunch, also known as arare or kakimochi, is a Japanese bite-sized rice cracker made from glutinous rice and flavored with soy sauce.
Is mochi crunch gluten-free?
Generally no, because the soy sauce used for flavoring typically contains wheat. Look for specific 'Tamari' flavored versions for gluten-free options.
How long does mochi crunch last?
If kept in an airtight container, it can last for 3-6 months. Once exposed to air, it may lose its crunch within a few days.
Is mochi crunch vegan?
Most standard varieties are vegan, but some may contain bonito (fish) flakes or honey glaze, so check the ingredient label.
Why is it called mochi crunch?
It is made from the same type of glutinous rice used to make mochi, which is then dried and baked or fried until crunchy.
Can I freeze mochi crunch?
It is not recommended as the moisture from the freezing/thawing process will ruin the crisp texture.
What are the best substitutions for mochi crunch?
Pretzels, plain rice crackers, or crispy chow mein noodles can provide a similar salty crunch in snack mixes.
How is mochi crunch typically served in Hawaii?
It is famously mixed with popcorn, often with furikake (seaweed seasoning) and butter, known as Hurricane Popcorn.
