What is Ichigo Daifuku?

Ichigo daifuku, or strawberry mochi , is a delicious sweet treat from Japan, often particularly popular around springtime.

This delicacy consists of a fresh juicy strawberry wrapped in a sweet bean paste and soft mochi dough. With the combination of the tart fruit and succulent mochi, it’s no surprise these little bites are a Japanese favourite!
