When the sugars from sugar and mizuame combine with the starch, water retention increases, holding on to moisture; this is why gyuhi stays soft even after time passes.<\/p>\n<h3>\u4e0a\u65b0\u7c89\u3092\u6df7\u305c\u308b\u3068\u6b6f\u5207\u308c\u304c\u826f\u304f\u306a\u308b<\/h3>\n<p>Joshin-ko is a flour made from uruchi-mai (ordinary, non-glutinous rice).
