Norimaki mochi is made by broiling mochi, sprinkling them in soy sauce, and wrapping them in seaweed. This snack is sweet, savory, and one of our favorite ways to eat mochi.
What to buy: Nori can be found in the Asian section of most supermarkets and at Asian grocery stores.

I love fresh mochi and thanks to the internet, I am able to have it all year round. I buy my fresh mochi, made daily by Fugetsu-do, in Los Angeles. I purchase it online at Japan Super - www.japansuper.com, along with all of my other Japanese groceries. It's shipped via next day air, so it's still somewhat soft when I receive it.
i love mochi! and there really is a difference between microwave mochi and fresh mochi. if you live in a big city, you can go to any local japanese market to get fresh mochi around this time of year. but you definitely have to show up early because it sells out quick!
go to grainaissance.com for info on mochi & where to buy.
I think that's the wrong kind of mochi. You want the kind that's pounded from rice, not formed from powder. And for this recipe, I think you want the really hard kind that looks like it's dry, but relaxes when it's heated. Wish I knew the names, but I don't.
Searching online for a mail-order mochi store turned up nothing! What's wrong with the world?!?
