Next Tuesday (8/8) is #NationalMochiDay and we’re inviting you to celebrate early today with @smorgasburg vendor @mochi_doki. Mochi is a rice cake molded from steamed mochigome, which is a type of rice found in east Asia. It’s molded into a dough with a soft and pillowy texture and sugar is added before it’s used to cover the ice cream. Mochidoki was founded in 2015 by Ken Gordon and Christopher Wong. Gordon was trained alongside Japanese pastry chefs, dairy scientists and food technologists prior to perfecting the delicious recipe they have today: guaranteed fresh and never melted. Try one of their delicious flavors: salted caramel, red bean, black sesame and more! It’s a beautiful day for some sweet and cold mochi on Fulton Street from 11am-7pm. #WorldTradeCenter #DowntownNYC #SmorgasburgWTC #DowntownEats
