Hi Sharmila, the glutinous rice flour was from East West, and the adzuki was from a health food store, Nitzat Haduvdevan. It may also carry the rice flour, though I haven’t checked. I think many health food stores and even open-air markets like Levinsky would have adzuki.

Hi, Where do you buy glutinous rice flour and adzuki beans in Israel?

I was told Adzuki beans are available, but I’ve never seen it.

THanks

Hi, sorry, this cannot be made with all-purpose flour. Rice flour is very different from wheat flour.

Can this recipe be altered to work with all-purpose flour? If so, can you please share how?

Hi Rob, I can't say that I decided to make hamentaschen out of mochi dough for any reason other than the fact that it happened to work technically (and I like it). While I don't know very much about the Japanese new year celebrations, I'm not sure how they would be a parallel to Purim. While some say Purim developed out of the Babylonian new year, I don't know anyone who gives it that kind of meaning nowadays. Good luck with your assignment!
