Items ranging from rope, to fabrics, to industrial materials were made from hemp fiber. Hemp was often used to make sail canvas, and the word canvas derives from cannabis. Today, a modest hemp fabric industry exists, and hemp fibers can be used in clothing.
What is Mochi? Mochi is a Japanese confection, found usually in the shape of a small, round rice cake which can be eaten with condiments such as kinako (roastedsoy bean flour), manju (sweet red bean paste), soy sauce dip, and seaweed.
Mochi appears in a variety of dishes, not just in a plain presentation. Ice cream enclosed in mochi is a popular Japanese dessert treat, and it is also often used in soups. Depending on the soup, the mochi may be specially flavored and toasted, or left in plain dumpling form to cook with the soup and provide texture.
