Shiratamako () is a premium Japanese glutinous rice flour made from mochigome ( / ), a variety of short-grain glutinous rice known for its sticky and elastic properties. Unlike regular sweet rice flour, Shiratamako is produced using a specialized method: the rice is washed, soaked, ground in water, and then the mixture is filtered, pressed, dried, and milled into coarse, pearly granules.
This unique process results in a flour that yields mochi with an exceptionally smooth, elastic, and refined texture—ideal for Japanese confectionery (wagashi), such as Shiratama dango, fruit-filled mochi, and traditional festival sweets.
Shiratamako is prized for its easy handling and consistent results, making it a preferred choice for both home cooks and professional wagashi artisans.
Recommended Uses:
Shiratama dango (sweet rice dumplings)
Daifuku (stuffed mochi)
Fruit mochi
Traditional wagashi (Japanese sweets)
