Researched and found by my son who loves Japanese cuisine, they had a variety of flavors of mochi! I think this was possibly the nicest outlet as we found the village small and not with too many shops and choice. Mochi is Japanese rice cake made of mochigome, a short-grain japonica glutinous rice. The rice is pounded into paste and molded into the desired shape. In Japan it is traditionally made in a ceremony called mochitsuki. It is then filled with an ice cream.
Small shop tucked inside Little Tokyo. The interior is not all too impressive as it is dimly lit and doesnt seem all too inviting HOWEVER, as you walk further in, youll find the little ice cream mochis lined in an enclosed fridge with little labels informing you of what flavors are more popular, staff favorites, etc. The boyfriend and I decided to try 3 different flavors: green tea (sweeter option than matcha), mango & Salted Caramel (most popular). I was super surprised at how good these actually were, especially since they were only priced at $1.50USD. The Mochi to ice cream portion was perfect (Mochi wasnt too thick) and the icecream is creamy enough to bite through (unlike the frozen ice cream mochis you can buy in super markets). Highly recommend checking out this joint if youre in the area, definitely wont disappoint!
Well I buy this mochi ice cream all the time. I totally just contested the dots lol. It’s the same! Duhhh tiffanySo therefore it’s super tasty.I think it’s usually like $4.50 for a box at the store that comes with 6. But here hello! You can pick different flavors yummmmm.My two favs are black sesame and green tea. The others are delicious too but these are MY top.I would recommend not coming on a weekend, even though there’s a long line it goes by fast. I say come earlier than later so they don’t run out of your favs 🙂
ORDER ICE CREAM. Their claim to fame is the Mochi Ice Cream. My favorite is the chocolate since the ice cream inside is so rich and dark. Otherwise, I like their plum wine ice cream which is a great marriage of sour and sweet with pieces of fresh plum. They now have good gelati….not quite like Vivoli in Firenze, Italy, but it beats having to travel 10 hours by jet to get there.
