Mochi crunch, also known as arare or kakimochi, is a Japanese bite-sized rice cracker made from glutinous rice and flavored with soy sauce.
Generally no, because the soy sauce used for flavoring typically contains wheat. Look for specific 'Tamari' flavored versions for gluten-free options.
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.
Most standard varieties are vegan, but some may contain bonito (fish) flakes or honey glaze, so check the ingredient label.
It is made from the same type of glutinous rice used to make mochi, which is then dried and baked or fried until crunchy.
It is not recommended as the moisture from the freezing/thawing process will ruin the crisp texture.
Pretzels, plain rice crackers, or crispy chow mein noodles can provide a similar salty crunch in snack mixes.
It is famously mixed with popcorn, often with furikake (seaweed seasoning) and butter, known as Hurricane Popcorn.
