![]() If you can’t get your hands on white bean paste, you can substitute smooth red bean paste instead. Unfortunately, I have not been able to find this on Amazon. I buy mine from my local Japanese market. The last main ingredient you need is white bean paste. Feel free to substitute mochiko, though, if it’s too much of a hassle (or too expensive). If you don’t have access to a Japanese market near you, you can find shiratamako on Amazon. Shiratamako is ground differently from mochiko, even though they’re made from the same rice. Although the most common version of this flour in the US is mochiko, I prefer using shiratamako instead. ![]() You will also need some glutinous rice flour, made from the same rice that you make mochi from. ![]() If you can get your hands on some muscat grapes and don’t mind shelling out some extra cash for it, go for it! If that’s not your thing, feel free to make smaller daifuku with thinner layers of bean paste. Regular green grapes are a little bit too small for a typical daifuku, so I buff it up by adding extra white bean paste. My grape daifuku recipe unfortunately does not use Okayama muscat grapes, as that would be VERY expensive to ship to me. Outside of Japan, you can also find grape daifuku at mochi shops in Hawai’I, like Two Ladies Kitchen. Seriously, muscat grapes can be up to 1.5 inches in diameter! That’s a perfect size for wrapping in mochi! These grapes are not muscats, which is why they don’t fill out the daifuku that well, so I used a thicker layer of bean paste. One variety they have in particular is the Shine Muscat, which is a HUGE, seedless green grape that’s super sweet. Balls of mochi (gyuhi) are stuffed with white bean paste and a green grape in the center! You can find these at certain specialty shops in Japan, Hawaii, and now in your own home! What is Grape Daifuku Mochi?ĭid you know grape daifuku is actually a thing in Japan? Yep! The Okayama prefecture of Japan is known for their grapes. Pumpkin puree - I used canned pumpkin puree, which you can find in the baking aisle.Grape daifuku is a fruity twist on a traditional Japanese daifuku.I recommend this recipe from Just One Cookbook. You can also find Sweetened White Bean paste online (just look up Shiro An on Amazon). While some asian grocery stores carry them, I usually buy them in bulk directly from a Korean bakery. ![]() Shiro An): I eat this stuff by spoonfuls! It's a versatile ingredient that goes inside my sweet rice mochi recipe as well my tofu mochi recipe, but it's also used as fillings inside sweet breads, pancakes, cookies and more. The price will be the same for you, link or no link □ They are also affiliate links, which means that I earn a commission as an Amazon Associate if you decide to purchase the items. **I've linked some of these ingredients to to give you an idea of what they are, but you should also be able to find them in your local grocery store (usually, the natural & organic food section). This spicy and sweet pumpkin spice filling is so easy to make and bursting with all the best flavors of fall! I'm using it now to fill my microwave pumpkin mochi, but you can also use it to fill mooncakes, sweetbreads, or use it as a spread for your morning toast!
