TAMASAN "Shiratamako" – Japanese Glutinous Rice Flour for Mochi, 200g

Tamasan

$8.50

Shiratamako (白玉粉) is a premium Japanese glutinous rice flour made from mochigome (もち米 / 糯米), a variety of short-grain glutinous rice known for its sticky and elastic properties. Unlike regular sweet rice flour, Shiratamako is produced using a specialized method: the rice is washed, soaked, ground in water, and then the mixture is filtered, pressed, dried, and milled into coarse, pearly granules.

This unique process results in a flour that yields mochi with an exceptionally smooth, elastic, and refined texture—ideal for Japanese confectionery (wagashi), such as Shiratama dango, fruit-filled mochi, and traditional festival sweets.

Shiratamako is prized for its easy handling and consistent results, making it a preferred choice for both home cooks and professional wagashi artisans.

Recommended Uses:

  • Shiratama dango (sweet rice dumplings)

  • Daifuku (stuffed mochi)

  • Fruit mochi

  • Traditional wagashi (Japanese sweets)
