Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Yes—most mochi donuts are vegetarian-friendly as they contain no meat or gelatin.
Vegan options: Limited—some glazes may contain dairy or eggs, so check individual flavors.
Gluten-free options: No—mochi flour includes rice flour but recipes are not fully gluten-free due to cross-contact.
