Warabimochi differs from true
mochi made from glutinous rice.
Warabimochi is also frequently made with
katakuriko (
potato starch) instead of
bracken starch due to cost and availability. In 2021,
Warabi starch sold for JPY 12,000–15,000 (USD 116–145)/kg, and it was 30–35 times more expensive than sweet potato or tapioca starch and 20–24 times more expensive than
sago starch. File:Warabimochi at Housen in Kyoto.jpg File:Warabimochi yosimitsu.jpg|Dusted with
