Agemochi (揚げ餅) is a popular Japanese snack food made from fried mochi (sticky rice). The dry mochi is broken into small pieces about 1 cm cubed and deep fried. The pieces then puff up. It is usually eaten lightly salted but there are also various flavoured versions such as shichimi agemochi agemochi covered with shichimi seasoning. Agemochi can be purchased anywhere in Japan and is also a common home-made snack.
