  Comments:
The natural exemplar of もちもち is o-mochi ricecake itself, which can't be called "springy." Springiness is a quality whereby pushing down on the substance will see it return to its former shape - like drier kinds of sponge cake or popcorn, for example, if we're talking food. O-mochi may be a little "springier" than, say, butter, but I would never style springiness, let alone puffiness, as its primary trait.
