Had a nice evening at Sushi House Manda in Vegas last week. The sushi bar
was full, so we had to grab a table. Everyone in the place seemed to be
speaking Japanese (except for us). They served a desert called moshi or
something like that. How do you spell it? I'm trying to find more info on
this 'moshi' stuff. They served green tea and mango moshi (or however it is
spelt) and I'm trying to find more info on the ingredients and the history
of it in Japanese cuisine.

BTW, their sushi house was very good. It is off the vegas strip about 15
minutes, so it's not too touristy. I enjoyed the sashimi hamachi, hamachi
nigir, and some of the rolls. My friend liked the roll with cream cheese
but I find any rolls with cream cheese too heavy for my tast. Anyway thanks
for any info on moshi and www.sushihousemanda.com is their site if you're
interested in what they offer.

thank you,

BT

How was it served? What did it look like? What other ingredients
were there? Mochi by itself can be very, very generic. Need more
info.

It was sort of an egg sized ball, but somewhat flattened. I assume it was
yukimi daifuku.

I've got glutinous rice and ordered an ice cream machine and some matcha.
I'm going to make my own, or at least try.

I'm still trying to figure out what you had - especially since you are
talking about getting a ice cream machine. Was there ice cream in the
center like this one? It's in Japanese but you can see the picture.
In this picture, matcha daifuku encloses store bought ice cream with
sweetened beans. They call this Matcha Ice Daifuku.

Here a rice flour called shirotamako, matcha (finest tea powder), and
sugar is mixed to make a daifuku.

Yes, the first photo
http://www.asahi-kasei.co.jp/saran/r.../0496_v009.jpg was what it
looked like. They just called it mochi but I guess mochi is only the outer
(rice) part. Sort of like sushi is the rice, or something like that ;-)

I thought the ice cream contained the matcha (green tea powder), not the
outer rice layer. Not sure. Perhaps they both did.
