However, none of the stores around here (or in the neighboring towns) have mochiko (which is a bit devastating). I can find rice flour (bobs red mill) though. Does anyone know if it is possible to make mochi without mochiko? Hi, I just moved back from japan to west texas, where in japan my number one favorite food was mochi (preferably chichidango).

I've been looking everywhere in the article for the recipe for Hanami dango, and I can't find it. I even went to look at the website link you provided us, search hanami dango, and I didn't find the recipe. Can you please give me a link for the recipe? I mean, I've googled it, and after looking and looking and LOOKING for about forever, I've given up. Okay…I’m really, really confused.

Cause, I looked up Asia Market, and it says it's located in Houston, TX. If so, thats cool; I live in Magnolia. Anyway, Im going to try one of these recepies(SP?) in the next couple of days. The only problem is that I can't get my paws on some Mochiko. I have Joshinko in the form of Bob's Red Mill, but I just can't seem to get some Mochiko. I have checked both Kroger and H-E-B, but neither has it. Nor does Walmart, and I have not the resources to get it online, as I haven't gotten my job yet (Hey, my birthday was Saturday; you can't blame me.) Any help would be much appreciated.

Mochiko is glutinous rice flour. Joshinko is non-glutinous rice flour. Mirin is a sweetened cooking wine made from rice. Dashi is a seaweed and skipjack tuna stock. Erik, you lucky duck, you live in SoCal, you shouldn't have too tough a time getting your J-cuisine ingredient hook-up! Go to the Mitsuwa in Little Tokyo or to any Korean or Japanese grocery for any of these ingredients. @Erik, yes, make dango, make lots and lots of dango!!

Especially the inside-out malted milk Dango! I really need to try and make this sometime. (As soon as I figure out what all of the ingredients are in english... haha) DO you think that the malted milk dango would be too difficult for someone unexperienced with making Dango? (I am familiar with cooking though) Oh and one last question! >.< I live in Southern California and I was wondering where is a good place to get these ingredients. Ohhh these look so good!

If you have a food processor, perhaps you could try powdering some sushi rice in it. I've read how other people who are hard up for rice flour use this <a href="http://www.bigoven.com/99520-How-To-Make-Rice-Flour-recipe.html" rel="nofollow">method</a>. @Sarah, joshinko is plain ol’ rice flour, as you know.

I don't have it, and I don't have a way to get it (no credit card/debit card/etc.) and no job (I'm only 15, darnit!). I'm not sure if my mom is willing to shell out money for my "weird food", as she calls it. Plus, we don't have any international markets in my town, only the international foods aisle, which, as far as I know, only sells Mochiko, which is all I have as far as rice flour is concerned. Is Joshinko an absolute must, or can it be substituted with something else? Okay, I’ve read all through this blog and see some awesome recipes….just one question, though:
