Mochi is rice cake that is made from pounded rice. It is very glutinous and sticky when cooked. Mochi doesn’t have very much flavor by itself other than a rice taste. It is often eaten during the new year holidays as people get lots of Mochi for the dish Ozoni. However, Ozoni is not the only way to eat Mochi, and actually, you could eat in any way and anytime through out the year if you wish.
