Uirō (外郎) also known as uirō-mochi (外郎餠) is a traditional Japanese steamed cake made of rice flour and sugar. It is chewy similar to mochi and subtly sweet. Flavors include azuki bean paste green tea (matcha) yuzu strawberry and chestnut. Nagoya is particularly famous for its uirō but there are other regional versions notably in Yamaguchi and Odawara. It can also be purchased in traditional Japanese confectionery shops throughout Japan.
