Chi Chi Dango Strawberry Beer Mochi

A Boozy Twist on a Japanese Girls’ Day Treat

By Rosie Hatch

In Japan, March 3rd is known as “Hinamatsuri,” also known as Girls’ Day. It is an annual holiday to celebrate the health and happiness of female children and femininity in general. To celebrate in style, we have created a Girls’ Day favorite, the chi chi dango mochi, but of course, we needed to add the booze. For this recipe, we used the Abita Brewing Strawberry Lager. However, any light, non-hoppy beer will do! Check out the notes section in the recipe for beer recommendations!

Notes

Suggestions for Strawberry Beers:
This recipe calls for a hint of strawberry flavor. So, we used a strawberry beer. However, other flavors may be substituted, such as a milk chocolate stout, a coffee porter, a guava cream ale, and so on. Since this is meant to be a sweet treat, we do not recommend the use of sours or hoppy profiles in this recipe. It's also probably best with a low ABV beer. Here are a few strawberry beers that we believe would work well.  
  • Strawberry Lager by Abita Brewing Company
    • Origin: Abita Springs, LA
    • ABV: 4.2%
    • IBU: 13
  • Strawberry Whale Cake by Burlington Beer Company
    • Origin: Williston, VT
    • ABV: 5.5%
    • IBU: 10
  • Strawberry Rhubarb by New Glarus Brewing Company
    • Origin: New Glarus, WI
    • ABV: 4%
    • IBU: 0
  • Strawberry Short's Cake by Short's Brewing Company
    • Origin: Bellaire, MI
    • ABV: 4.3%
    • IBU: 10
  • Strawberry Milkshake Stout by Rochester Mills Production Brewery
    • Origin: Auburn Hills, MI
    • ABV: 5.2%
    • IBU: 19
As always, we advocate for local and independent craft beer. You'll only need a cup for this recipe, so enjoy the rest of the beer as a pairing with your mochi. If it lasts through the recipe! 
Cheers!
