https://zhangcatherine.com/mitarashi-dango/Mochi is typically made from steamed and pounded glutinous short-grain rice. On the other hand, mitarashi dango is made from shiratamako. The shiratamako is typically mixed with water, rolled into balls, and boiled to form these rice dumplings. Both have a similar flavor and bouncy texture, but are served very differently! Dango is almost always served on a stick, while mochi is typically served as it is, or with different kinds of fillings.
