A moffle is a Japanese dish made by cooking mochi rice cake in a waffle iron, which turns the sticky cake into a waffle with a crunchy exterior and a thin chewy layer of glutinous mochi inside. Served as a dessert it is typically accompanied by a variety of condiments, and it can also be made as a savoury snack with ingredients such as ham and cheese or cod roe. The Sanyei Company claims to have invented the moffle and received a trademark for the product in 2000; it mass-produces moffle makers for homes and restaurants, and some restaurants use flavoured mochi for the batter.
