A moffle is a Japanese dish consisting of mochi rice cake cooked in a waffle iron, which creates a waffle.

Sanyei Company claims to have invented the moffle, receiving a trademark for the product in 2000. [3] Sanyei mass-produces moffle makers for consumer and commercial use. [3] Some restaurants use flavored mochi to prepare the moffle. [3]
