red bean pastemochi (glutinous rice or other grain, sticky enough to make mochi rice cakes)
Daifukumochi is a type of rice cake made of mochi (glutinous rice cake) with a thin skin and azuki bean paste filling. There are also other varieties, such as Mame-Daifuku, which contains boiled red peas in the mochi skin, and Kusa-Daifuku, which is made with mochi mixed with mugwort leaves. The name “quail mochi” originated in the Edo period (1603-1867), when it was a popular food for the common people, and its round, plump appearance was thought to resemble a quail. It was also called harabutomochi because of the shape of the quail’s bulging belly and its longevity. However, the filling of Daifuku at that time was salty, and it is said that it was not until the end of the 18th century that they began to use sugar-sweetened bean jam as they do today.
