I love mochi but I am very picky about the kind of mochi I eat. My favorite type is actually savory, not sweet... the kind that is grilled/baked, wrapped in seaweed and dipped in a soy/sugar sauce. Any one else care to share their favorites? In Japan I've had mochi with black sesame in it. It wasn't the filling, the whole large chunk was sesame. It dried out a quicker than the regular stuff. The texture was very different. One thing I don't like about mochi is that it spoils, or should I specify, it MOLDS rather quickly.
