If there's one variety of ice cream that's been on the up-and-up in recent years, it's mochi. Mochi ice cream has an outer layer of rice flour dough surrounding a puck of frozen ice cream The glutinous rice flour gives the treat a distinct chewiness that not many other frozen dessert creations can boast it only became ubiquitous in recent years and is still considered an ice cream novelty to much of the public you don't have to make a trip to your local Asian ethnic market to get your hands on this type of ice cream because you can find it in the ice cream section of your local grocery store As an avid consumer of these frozen treats I decided to compare two of the major brands to see which brand produced a better mochi ice cream A good mochi ice cream needs to have harmony between the chewy rice cake coating and the ice cream in its center There should be a slight bit of chew to the rice My/Mochi is one of the most widely available mochi ice creams available at grocery stores across the country and one of the earliest players in the game — since 1993. My/Mochi boasts an impressive array of flavors including everything from traditional Asian-inspired flavors like green tea and ube to s'mores and dulce de leche You may even find some non-dairy selections in the freezer aisle at your local grocery store These desserts are known for their fluffy texture and generous ice cream centers the My/Mochi flavors that I sampled — passion fruit and strawberry — come in a six-pack The passion fruit flavor has 80 calories per piece while the strawberry contains 70 calories per mochi ice cream which was slightly more expensive than the Trader Joe's selection and there were only three flavors available at my local grocery store: cookies and cream and passion fruit — the latter two of which I sampled for this review With such a large selection of flavors in production I was a little sad to see that all of my local grocery stores (not just the one I bought these from) carried only these three flavors Trader Joe's has proved in recent years that it can make products that are just as good as the name-brand options But would its mochi ice cream also stand up to this test especially considering that the product was launched several years after My/Mochi in 2001 As expected, Trader Joe's carries a significantly smaller selection of flavors than My/Mochi Its pared-down list includes the likes of vanilla This small selection might be fine if you're just haphazardly adding items to your Trader Joe's cart but it may not be someone's go-to stop specifically for mochi ice cream These mochi ice cream boxes are priced at $4.99 they all appear to be a bit larger in size these take on a little more of a flat pancake shape Each green tea and strawberry mochi ice cream contains 80 calories each which makes it nutritionally comparable to the My/Mochi that I sampled Strawberry can either go one of two ways: It can taste beautiful and soft like a little shiver of berry essence wrapping you in a light hug or it can feel like you're getting shoved into a locker by your high school bully and getting your lunch money stolen My/Mochi went with the latter — and I can say that it actually did wonders for this flavor in the grand scheme of things This mochi ice cream tastes a little like the strawberry shortcake Good Humor bar I remember buying from an ice cream truck when I was a kid It's very sweet and very strawberry-forward the strawberry flavor doesn't taste syrupy or overtly cloying I was glad it didn't have that overwhelmingly sugary aftertaste that I was expecting rice flour dough cushions the blow of the strawberry and ends the aftertaste before it can absolutely ruin everything While Trader Joe's went really creamy with its strawberry flavor My/Mochi decided to prioritize the fruity side of things and I think that really pushed this flavor ahead in the review and the fruity ice cream center is satisfying — but still sends you back into the container to grab another bite Even though I'm not a big fan of strawberry anything I can appreciate the balance of flavors that My/Mochi brought to the dessert table Strawberry is far from my favorite ice cream flavor — so I wasn't exactly thrilled to sample this offering from Trader Joe's The first thing I noticed about the mochi ice cream was that its rice flour dough was pasty and gummy I noticed a clear separation between the mochi layer and the ice cream The whole mochi came apart with an unimaginable stickiness that sent me licking my fingers to ensure that whatever coating on the outside had been fully removed I could peel the entire skin off Trader Joe's mochi ice cream to get to the center I also think the rice flour dough may have been strawberry-flavored but it's not punchy enough to convince me it actually is just like Trader Joe's green tea mochi ice cream The strawberry ice creams that have impressed me in the past contained chunks of flavorful strawberries interspersed in the pint — this one had a strawberry essence in the cream filling that made it taste slightly artificial If Trader Joe's marketed this flavor as "strawberries and cream," I would have been more sold on it conceptually But it misses all the marks for a quality mochi ice cream When was the last time you had passion fruit ice cream I didn't really know what I was walking into for this tasting's wild card round The skin of this mochi ice cream takes on an absolutely beautiful purple hue — almost like one of the brand's ube-flavored ice cream treats adorned a beautiful orange color that made me think it was straight out of the tropics Like all the other mochi ice cream I sampled for this tasting this one didn't really have a particular aroma But the flavor itself was extremely passion fruit-forward I don't tend to enjoy tropical-flavored treats but this one really put the pedal to the metal I felt that the passion-fruit-flavored ice cream imparted almost a furry aftertaste kind of like the feeling of biting into an unripe banana and feeling that filminess on the back of your teeth afterward but it made me think the brand used real passion fruit in this product I appreciated how the mochi skin softened when I bit into it and stayed with the ice cream rather than breaking off like it did with Trader Joe's strawberry flavor It would be a great match for someone who loves tropical-flavored sweets I admit I'm not super familiar with the taste of green tea My go-to coffee shop order isn't green tea and I haven't delved into the tea world much I can say that even if I was obsessed with all things green tea I wouldn't particularly love this offering from Trader Joe's The first thing I found interesting about this product was that it came in almost a clamshell container whereas the strawberry mochi ice cream came in a corrugated cardboard-like base with a clear plastic film on top When I took a whiff of the mochi ice cream It didn't come off all the way like the brand's strawberry mochi ice cream The green tea ice cream itself was very soft and like a little nibble of green tea I'm grateful that it didn't taste overtly medicinal or pungent but there was a slight grassiness on the back of the palate I also appreciated that it was not overwhelmingly sweet but sugar wasn't the most prominent flavor at play this ice cream embodied the word "meh." Its flavor is so inoffensive that it didn't leave a lasting impression this product did not convince me to jump on the green tea train Since Trader Joe's coffee boba ice cream is one of my all-time favorites I thought Trader Joe's had it in the bag when it came to the ice cream of these treats But Trader Joe's was really conservative with the ice cream flavors here: Both the strawberry and the green tea flavors were subtle and light rather than bold and challenging Although it was risky for My/Mochi to pack in all that passion fruit flavor it successfully offered a unique and irresistible flavor to try out of curiosity alone That's the hallmark of a great novelty product Choosing ice cream flavors I wouldn't usually go for allowed me to weigh the pros and cons of each brand effectively While I don't see myself buying passion fruit the brand I will be adding to my cart when I'm craving this particular novelty is My/Mochi If you're not familiar with mochi ice cream, I suggest you change that quickly. This popular low-calorie frozen dessert is a Japanese-style ice cream bonbon wrapped in a thin layer of dough made from glutinous rice the mochi itself is flavored to complement whatever the ice cream is Mochi ice cream is especially great after a meal because it's not too much. One bonbon is just a couple of bites, so it caps off your dinner with just enough sweetness to satisfy a craving without making you too full. One serving is often under 150 calories the best way to eat mochi ice cream is to let the bonbons thaw just a little bit so that the ice cream can soften the ice cream is a little too hard to bite into the whole bonbon is soft enough to bite into without making your teeth hurt it becomes a melty mess if you let it sit out too long You can find mochi ice creams in a ton of flavors at major grocery chains and specialty Asian markets nationwide I sought to find the best mochi ice cream available each in the same three flavors—so everything would be equal among them mochi ice cream tastes pretty great in general and none of these brands were particularly bad Here's how each brand ranked in descending order from my least favorite (but still not bad) to the overall best Fuji mochi ice cream is a smaller Japanese brand that I found at my local 99 Ranch Market for $6.49 per box The brand has a small selection of flavors It's worth noting that on the nutrition label for this brand whereas all the other brands have a serving size of one piece so don't be alarmed when you see how much higher the numbers are in the nutrition panel The look: These round little bonbons were well dusted and well filled with ice cream The mochi coating on the mango mochi ice cream was more yellow than orange which felt right on target for a mango fruit The taste: The vanilla ice cream lacked any vanilla flavor The chocolate ice cream had a richer flavor with an almost coffee-like aftertaste simply because it was packed with so much cocoa The mango was the best of the three—it tasted like biting into a tropical fruit salad The mochi on all three had a nice sweet flavor and good chew My/Mochi has a huge variety of products and the mochi ice cream currently comes in 17 flavors You'll also find whimsical options like cookie dough which are all far less traditional when it comes to this very traditional treat My/Mochi is one of the easier brands to find on grocery store shelves I picked up these three boxes from Stop & Shop ($6.99 each) and Wegmans ($6.69) All three little round round bonbons came covered in corn starch The chocolate was so covered that it was basically pure white on the outside The amount of coating was a little off-putting The mango flavor came in bright orange—a little more orange than a real mango The taste: The vanilla unfortunately didn't have a lot of flavor There were tiny chocolate pieces in the ice cream The mango flavor tasted fresh and authentic So many fruit-flavored foods taste artificial The mochi coating on all of them was sweet and chewy The look: These started melting really fast when I took them out of the freezer and showed signs of wilting They didn't completely lose their bonbon shape but the mochi really didn't hold up very well The taste: The vanilla flavor was really strong—probably the most vanilla-y of any of the options It tasted like your basic chocolate ice cream with a smooth Because the filling is sherbet and not ice cream The Bubbies brand is readily available at Whole Foods and Alphonso mango at Whole Foods ($5.99 each) and Wegmans ($6.69) The look: Bubbies ice creams were less round and more like a fat disc They also felt quite hefty for a bite-size treat even though they're the same size as the other brands The different shape just made them feel bigger The mochi was on the thick side with these bonbons and there was quite a bit of gaping around the ice cream center on the vanilla and chocolate ones The taste: The vanilla ice cream here had a well-balanced flavor The chocolate ice cream was really robust and intense The ice cream was also dotted with chocolate chips which I loved for the added texture in this otherwise soft dessert The mango ice cream was very light and sweet with an authentic fruit flavor it packed a lot of sweetness into every bite Mikawaya's mochi ice cream comes in traditional Japanese flavors like black sesame and red bean as well as fun flavors like mint chip and strawberry I found a wide variety of these at local Asian markets and picked up chocolate chocolate and mango at 99 Ranch Market for $7.49 each and vanilla at Asian Food Markets for $7.49 The look: These ice creams weren't as uniform as some of the others The mochi looked a bit wrinkled on some of them The mochi layer was also a little thinner than other brands The mango mochi had a yellow-orange color to it that felt right for the flavor—not so orange that it was artificial but not so pale that it seemed like the wrong fruit The taste: The vanilla had a very subtle sweetness The chocolate was much bolder and full of cocoa flavor and tasted like a mango twist on the old-school Orange Creamsicle The mochi shells were soft and chewy and the perfect thickness The mochi tightly hugged the ice cream so that when I bit into it there was no gapping All three of these flavors felt indulgent and would make an impeccable after-dinner treat Copyright 2025 Galvanized Media Eat This

With a history dating back thousands of years, this traditional treat made from glutinous rice flour has evolved transcending its cultural origins to become a symbol of culinary innovation and indulgence Initially recognized for its significance in religious ceremonies and special occasions, mochi has transformed into an iconic dessert enjoyed worldwide especially in its modern iteration -– mochi ice cream This fusion of heritage and inventiveness combines the chewy tender texture of traditional mochi with the creamy allure of ice cream offering a delectable harmony of taste and sensation The My/Mochi brand has further redefined this classic by infusing it with an array of sumptuous ice cream flavors, presenting a tantalizing assortment that caters to diverse palates I took on the task of exploring and ranking the spectrum of flavors My/Mochi has to offer paying homage to the dessert's roots while celebrating the modern evolution that has captivated ice cream enthusiasts globally Whether you're an ardent My/Mochi enthusiast or a curious newcomer eager to delve into the world of frozen delights this comprehensive guide is your roadmap to savoring the best My/Mochi has to offer Some recommendations are based on firsthand impressions of promotional materials and products provided by the manufacturer/distributor/etc My/Mochi has two smoothie options within its lineup Everything about the Strawberry Banana filling tastes artificial There is something about the banana that just tastes off –- almost like it's going bad It doesn't go with the smoothie vibe that I assumed would be a healthier frozen option I also miss the texture of the smooth ice cream compared to this version which is literally a frozen-ish smoothie wrapped in mochi The overall experience of this mochi flavor falls short leaving a void for those accustomed to the traditional My/Mochi charm In a lineup of diverse and decadent flavors Despite a commendable attempt to infuse a smoothie element the Strawberry Banana variant proves to be a regrettable deviation emphasizing the delicate balance required to create a satisfying My/Mochi experience For those seeking authenticity and a genuine taste of My/Mochi The Mixed Berry Smoothie flavor wasn't much better than its strawberry banana counterpart these two smoothie flavors could have tied this one was completely artificial tasting but it also leaned bitter and tangy based on the mixed berry label The outer shell of the mochi was delicious bled through and ruined the subtle sweetness over time especially with the tart berry flavoring of the strawberries there wasn't much here to write home about the smoothie varieties are a lower-calorie option with just 70 calories per piece compared with the 80 to 90 calories per piece for the ice cream varieties The mixed berry does taste a little better based on the removal of banana but this isn't something I'd ever choose again Next on the list was the limited-edition Classic Pickle flavor, and yes The real tell here is the fact that Classic Pickle doesn't come in last that doesn't say anything about this flavor; it says everything about the flavors that it beat And that's really all I have to say about that you still get that classic mochi taste and texture on the outside but that tart pickle flavor takes over the entire profile very quickly does that salty taste negate any hint of ice cream goodness I'm not saying you shouldn't buy or try this one or even an option for our pregnant friends with weird cravings — these all might work I don't know what I was expecting when I saw boba listed on the box I think of delicious jelly balls in my taro bubble tea There was something about this flavor combo that just didn't jive with me you get the mixture of sweet mochi dough with sweet strawberry ice cream but then your palate is assaulted with the boba bursting in your mouth but I had a different flavor profile in mind Nowhere on the box does it say which boba flavor it is so I had my own preconceptions walking into this taste test but those rich notes overwhelm the lightness of the strawberry completely I can see the pairing between the fresh strawberry and the darker but that burst of brown sugar and molasses really overpowers the profile this one just doesn't have the balance I crave with sweet treats Coming in 12th in our ranking is the Horchata flavor the more that cinnamon bites at your taste buds It gets a little Christmas candle-tasting after a few morsels you really lose the delicacy and sweetness of the mochi dough it's wrapped in but I definitely couldn't eat more than one piece of this flavor Cinnamon is a tough spice to use correctly you really have to enjoy cinnamon and the overpowering nature of this ingredient I think Horchata is a good one to throw in the mix for seasonal treats which almost breaks into the top 10 from among all of the flavors tested Note that the ingredients list includes coffee but it's unclear how much caffeine is in each bite I have nothing bad to say about the Coffee variant and this is coming from someone who doesn't drink coffee I don't enjoy anything with this flavor profile but there is something balanced with this one and the coffee taste is pretty subtle; it isn't bitter as I expected it would be The sweet rice dough from the mochi offers a nice complement to the smooth there are an array of better flavor options out there I never know what to think when it comes to dairy treats that are non-dairy but My/Mochi surprised me with its Strawberry with Oat Milk option the strawberry is a little bland compared to its ice cream cousin but it is still delicious without leaning artificial but there are no arguments against a good sorbet or sherbet in my book What I like about this option is that it doesn't taste like a healthy or allergen-friendly treat masking as a dessert This one is really balanced with flavors and sweetness one I definitely wouldn't hesitate to eat again Milk-based ice cream is always going to be better than a substitute — period I would absolutely recommend the Strawberry with Oat Milk mochi for anyone who is allergic to dairy and or keeps this food item out of their diet I think it's difficult to get the right balance of flavors when it comes to artificial s'mores candies and sweets so I am truly surprised by how well My/Mochi accurately gets the profile of s'mores into this little ball of rice dough you get the cinnamon aftertaste of a graham cracker with the sweetness of a marshmallow in the majority of the bite The chocolate flavor is a little lacking within the dough That's also not to say it is overpowering either The missing chocolate punch is really the only negative note when it comes to this flavor but it doesn't detract from the overall appeal You can find every single note from a true s'mores treat and that speaks volumes about this option and My/Mochi's dedication to its craft Picking up the eighth spot on this ranking is My/Mochi's Mango flavor it is pretty clear that this isn't a traditional mango taste but there is something about this option that I really like but more of a tropical fruit rather than that true mango sweetness and I think the flavor borders on a sherbet variation which adds a touch of nostalgia to this profile It works well with the light sweetness of the mochi dough creating a true balance of sweetness and tang I know that's not really what mango is about but there is something nice about this one which is a welcome detour from the other sugar I really recommend this one as a respite away from your typical ice cream flavors but if you're thinking of frozen mango for flavor Mint Chocolate Chip was an absolute favorite on this list While the ice cream inside was absolutely delicious this option didn't really feel like mochi or reflect the true essence of the mochi tradition All you taste is mint chocolate chip ice cream with the mint overpowering every other flavor in the piece we have to focus on that rice dough and subtle flavor nuances I can't let this one break into the top five so having the Dulce de Leche flavor almost break into the top five is a huge surprise This My/Mochi option has a complex flavor profile compared to the rest of the lineup This variant really brings together an array of flavors in a harmonious way It might become a new favorite in your freezer so it ranked a little lower on the list for me than it may for you Breaking into the top five in the My/Mochi lineup is Vanilla Bean Say what you will about the flavor vanilla but there is something to be said about simplicity and vanilla bean done right I think My/Mochi really nails it with what some might call a "vanilla" variant The vanilla bean ice cream within the mochi dough is delicious It's light yet vibrant with that real vanilla bean flavor cutting through the sweetness of the rice dough and powder My only real critique is that there is a slight clash between the sweet dough of the mochi and the richness of the vanilla bean but it is worth noting and the reason this flavor didn't break into the top three That clash along with the fact that My/Mochi has so many wildly delicious flavors is why this one ends up taking fifth place. But I can say this flavor is delicious and a frozen dessert absolutely worth a try if you see it at your local store another flavor I would never personally reach for or try on my own so thank you to My/Mochi for forcing me out of my comfort zone and showing me a new favorite in my freezer aisle My first impression — the guava flavor is solid The taste of the guava ice cream is very realistic with no traces of artificial anything at all That juicy fruit taste pairs well with the sweet dough creating a delicious symphony of sweet and tangy flavors and it's one that you definitely have to try — at least once I just honestly like some of the other flavors better — simple as that I usually lean toward chocolate over fruit and My/Mochi does a killer job of capturing the essence of a real strawberry in its mochi ice cream option The sweetness of the strawberry ice cream cuts through the subtle rice dough and balances the sugar and tart profiles well This one is a real Goldilocks option — not too sweet And you won't find any of that artificial fruit taste like in some strawberry ice creams and candies I put this one in third place since strawberry isn't a stand-out flavor I would typically pick a more bold choice at my local ice cream stand or something more decadent but My/Mochi's strawberry is a delicious option nonetheless This ice cream variant is a solid "basic" option done right Taking the runner-up spot is none other than My/Mochi's Double Chocolate flavor The rice dough has hints of chocolate that complement the double chocolate ice cream perfectly fulfilling what I think a perfect dessert encapsulates The chocolate in the ice cream is rich and smooth without being too bitter or too sweet This is another Goldilocks moment on the ranking offering real balance without gimmicks or too much pizazz offering a smooth and luscious-tasting experience While there are many basic flavors in the top five they really speak to the nuance and complexity of My/Mochi's creations offering simple yet delicious treats using classic flavors The double chocolate is a perfect reflection of that craft and promises to satisfy both chocolate lovers and those with a sweet tooth This variant can definitely make a new home in my freezer anytime it wants and that's saying a lot with all the flavors I tried during this experience Coming in first and surprising the heck out of me is My/Mochi's Cookies and Cream The ice cream itself isn't bold or overpowering This flavor option offers a true balance of mochi to ice cream in texture and taste the Cookies and Cream variant was sweet and decadent but it wasn't so sweet that I didn't want to eat the whole box in one sitting While I didn't actually eat the entire box at once I loved that this option really gives you the luscious and rich profile of a decadent dessert but it left room on your palate and your stomach for more than one piece look for those purple boxes and get trying If you don’t want to learn details about the DLC make sure to finish it before reading this article The first DLC of the ninth generation of Pokémon has gotten a lot of attention from the community and some have to do with an exclusive item called Mochi an uninteresting item for casual fans but extremely important for hardcore players As mentioned before Mochi is a brand new item that can only be obtained if you have the Pokémon Scaler & Violet DLC It is a usable item whose effects can vary depending on which of the seven types of Mochi are used however all of them are utilized to train your Pokémon’s EV a stat that could only be modified through specific battles or the use of Vitamins and Feathers which were both quite expensive Mochi is rewarded for players who play the DLC-exclusive minigame Ogre Oustin’ and is unlocked by following the expansion main story-line quests, if you still haven’t unlocked Ogre Oustin’ don’t worry we have written a full guide explaining not only how to access the minigame but also how to play it and while six of them work exactly like Vitamins the seventh one does a full reset on your Pokémon’s EVs Just like a Vitamin each Mochi used will increase your Pokémon’s EV by exactly ten points which means that to fully maximize one stat you must use 26 Mochi (the maximum of each stat is 252) The Fresh-Start Mochi is the seventh type of Mochi mentioned and it is extremely useful to make the process of creating competitive Pokémon as efficient as possible When utilized all of your Pokémon’s EVs will get reset Here is a list of all types of Mochi currently available in the game as well as their effect: LORENZO JUNG Lorenzo Jung has worn many hats throughout his 8 years of esports: professional League of Legends coach Lorenzo is a passionate fan of the Pokémon series as well as its competitive VGC scene © 2025 ABG-SI LLC. -

Traditionally, mochi consists of a small ball of ice cream covered in a thin, chewy casing that holds everything together so that you never need to use a spoon. All you need to make a basic mochi casing is three ingredients: glutinous rice flour and you'll have subtly-sweet rice dough to wrap around whatever flavor of ice cream you'd like This most delicious of Japanese treats is a must-have on New Year's and has become a popular simple treat that many love to keep on hand in the freezer for when craving strikes My/Mochi is an LA-based brand that wasn't content to stick to the classic mochi flavors My/Mochi has 24 different flavors of mochi with several non-dairy options and a few seasonal surprises We were lucky enough to get our hands on everything we could find in stock in order to answer this question: Which My/Mochi flavor is the best Strawberry with boba ranked low on our list This mochi flavor is built around a boba-flavored filling that includes brown sugar and vanilla extract in order to approximate that feeling of biting into a boba The boba filling is contained within the center of strawberry-flavored ice cream Despite being one of the more beautiful mochi options — we loved the look of the boba core here — this mochi was very sweet for our taste The strawberry flavor was overpowering and didn't taste like genuine fruit This makes this strawberry unlike most of the other My/Mochi flavors We were really excited to try the ube My/Mochi flavor. Ube is a naturally purple potato with a subtly-sweet taste; it originates in the Philippines, so it's a popular flavor in Filipino cooking, and it's also used in a lot of Hawaiian desserts The best thing about ube is that it dyes everything it touches a gorgeous lilac color My/Mochi's rendition of this snack also uses purple carrot juice and vegetable juice to further deepen the purple this ube mochi didn't quite live up to our expectations refreshing ube that most ube-flavored snacks give off Perhaps we've just become accustomed to ube-colored food this mochi was a heavier treat than we thought we were signing up for The packaging of the dulce de leche mochi promises something very exciting: A mochi with caramel filling at the center of the ice cream My/Mochi has several flavors with filling in the middle ranging from strawberry with boba to s'mores we ended up concluding that the My/Mochi dulce de leche mochi is an experiment in core fillings gone slightly wrong much like the misguided attempt at creating a molten core at the center of Ben & Jerry's pints The caramel center defrosts more quickly than the ice cream which means that it's entirely possible for it to squirt out of your mochi mid-bite The flavors of this mochi are also more intense than we wanted them to be and it's definitely one of the sweeter mochi on the My/Mochi menu My/Mochi has four different variations of strawberry-flavored mochi: There's strawberry with boba This most basic strawberry flavor is made with a strawberry purée that includes sugar The strawberries aren't enough to give it this light pink shade so the inside and outside of the mochi are actually also dyed with beetroot juice concentrate With so many strawberry options to choose from it's hard to pick just one strawberry to go with This basic strawberry flavor paled in comparison to some of the more complicated versions It's on the sweeter side of the My/Mochi selection Although guava is not typically grown in Japan making guava-flavored mochi is a natural marriage pink-fleshed tropical fruit carries a rosy Using guava to create mochi is a strong concept: It's beautiful to look at and its flavors should lend themselves well to the rice dough While this rendition of guava didn't quite tickle our tastebuds it's obvious that the guava mochi is one of the cutest varieties offered by My/Mochi We're obsessed with the way that you can see the rosy pink center of the ice cream through the thin rice dough layer; usually My/Mochi seems to aim to align the color palette of the mochi with its real-life equivalent where the green skin of the fruit is replaced by a translucent white film The My/Mochi passionfruit flavor looks pleasantly similar to the real fruit: It has purple skin and an electric, mango-y yellow center, just like real-life passionfruit. All that this mochi is missing are those delicious seeds that are so great to stir into your sparkling water or a cocktail to make a satisfying passionfruit drink The ice cream recipe also contains real passionfruit purée this flavor tasted like a candied version of passionfruit but that characteristic tanginess was lost in the puréed nature of this fruit but this mochi lost points with us for moving away from the flavor we expected this candy-esque flavor will suit your tastes The strawberry banana smoothie flavor is a relatively new addition to the My/Mochi cohort: It was added to the roster the company opted to call these mochi flavors "Incredibites," but nowadays they are just labeled as smoothies The strawberry banana smoothie flavor just didn't really hit for us the banana-colored rice dough struck us as tasting synthetic while the inside of the smoothie mochi tasted very much like an actual smoothie these mochi taste less sugary and more healthy Dairy-free My/Mochi is made from oat milk in order to appeal to vegans and lactose intolerant alike Frozen oat milk has a different texture than frozen milk — it's significantly harder to bite through If you want a soft mochi that you can bite into take your non-dairy mochi out of the freezer a few minutes earlier The non-dairy version of My/Mochi's strawberry flavor is the best of this company's four variations of strawberry mochi The strawberry flavor is much more subtle here perhaps because it's in competition with the flavor of the oat milk and it still doesn't taste like genuine strawberries; however it's more palatable than the normal strawberry mochi and the outer casing has no distracting flavors It's definitely our pick for the best strawberry My/Mochi we had an inkling that the My/Mochi mango flavor was going to be number one Mango is such a perfect mochi flavor that the combination seemed almost meant to be Add that to the fact that the mochi itself approximated the gorgeous golden color of mango well we were saddened to discover that the mango within was just.. This is not to say that the mango mochi is bad by any means but we found that we wanted more from it — the flavor is subtle in comparison with other flavors like guava and ube the My/Mochi mixed berry smoothie is a frozen smoothie bulb wrapped in a layer of rice dough This smoothie flavor contains a mixed berry blend that includes strawberries The smoothie interior is a pleasant pink color and the rice dough is a complementary purple The smoothie sphere reminded us of some flavor from the long-forgotten past — after a second we realized it was highly reminiscent of the berry-flavored variety of Go-Gurt We didn't need to have a second helping of mixed berries The non-dairy chocolate is the second-best of the three non-dairy flavors offered by My/Mochi you need to let this mochi defrost for a couple of extra minutes when you take it out of the freezer so that you can actually bite through the frozen oat ice cream without hurting your teeth The chocolate flavor of the mochi isn't as strong as it could be, which means that you can really taste the oat milk used in this recipe. The result is a chalkier version of mochi, reminiscent of a frozen vegan hot chocolate this plant-based chocolate mochi option doesn't compare to its dairy-filled counterpart Horchata, a Mexican drink made with cinnamon and rice milk actually relies on the same base ingredient as the mochi dough — rice flour This mochi recipe includes sweetened condensed whole milk to create a creamier texture in addition to the rice flour that is at the core of both horchata and mochi dough It's a very clever inclusion in the flavor list It's a little bit like biting into a Bath and Body Works candle which feels forbidden and satisfying in a sneaky way and the mochi becomes almost aromatic as the ice cream inside melts down the My/Mochi flavors excel when they are at their most simple and the horchata mochi is one of the best pieces of evidence to support that claim The s'mores My/Mochi flavor is another of those mochi that have a sneaky hidden filling inside the classic s'more is disassembled and put back together in a new way The outer layer of the mochi acts as the chocolate while the ice cream inside is graham cracker flavored; then there's a small pocket of marshmallow filling Although we didn't love the other varieties of My/Mochi with filling the s'mores version works very well — the marshmallow filling has a stickier The mochi itself isn't overly sweet because the ice cream is graham cracker flavored — a choice we appreciated especially since most s'mores-flavored ice creams use a chocolate base We definitely recommend eating your s'mores mochi on top of an actual s'more The non-dairy salted caramel mochi flavor is My/Mochi's third oat milk-based mochi variety and our favorite of the three There are natural caramel flavors in this mochi Just like with the other non-dairy flavors you're going to want to leave this mochi box out of the freezer for a few extra minutes to let your oat milk ice cream melt a little The non-dairy salted caramel is similar in flavor to the dulce de leche mochi but the added salt makes a difference — this mochi is more savory and becomes a more interesting bite but you might slip and fall and end up eating a whole box This Cereal & Milk mochi flavor isn't just made with the milk that's left behind at the bottom of your cereal bowl — it has cereal in it ground finely enough that they mix easily into the ice cream Despite the fact that this recipe doesn't technically use cereal the end result tastes very much like that classic cereal milk flavor — the sugary finish to the childhood breakfast that you had almost forgotten The flavor is further enhanced by the natural rice dough wrapper making it an updated version of a dish that intends to push all your nostalgia buttons We weren't sure what to expect from My/Mochi's apple pie à la mode flavor This seasonal offering hits shelves in the fall and is meant to approximate the taste of an apple pie with an apple filling at the center of the vanilla ice cream ball Real apple pies are a dessert so perfect that it seems silly to try to replicate them in another form which is probably why you so rarely see apple pie-flavored goods; but we figured that My/Mochi had good reason for including this special seasonal flavor the apple pie à la mode tastes chillingly like a true pie which combine to create the perfect pie filling reference and the vanilla ice cream is made with ground vanilla beans The ratio is different than your usual Thanksgiving serving — there's much more ice cream here than pie filling — but in all other respects this mochi is a surprisingly suitable substitute for apple pie You can't really go wrong with cookies and cream; My/Mochi certainly hasn't filled with vanilla ice cream and ground-up pieces of chocolate crème cookies You can just barely taste the rice dough in this recipe which blends into the background in contrast with the flavor of the cookies — here the mochi wrapper really just becomes the gift wrapping on a little present of ice cream The cookies and cream mochi are very kid-friendly while not being too sweet for adult tastebuds It's perfect to eat by the side of the pool to keep yourself cool during those hot summer months or to snack on right when you get home from a hot day walking around in the sun It would also be a great flavor to have in the freezer for after-school playdates Did you know that matcha and green tea are made from the same plant, but they're brewed using entirely different processes powdered version of tea leaves that can also be brewed whole to create green tea The My/Mochi green tea flavor is somewhat confusingly named because it's actually made using a matcha mix That means that if you're someone who goes crazy for matcha you should definitely try out My/Mochi's green tea This mochi feels more mature than the rest of the My/Mochi selection probably just because the matcha flavor is more savory and complex than with a hint of bitterness that lets you know that My/Mochi is using real matcha to create these mochis It's hard to limit yourself to just one piece we tend to gravitate toward tropical flavors like pineapple we were excited to sample coconut mochi — after all a chewy coconut-flavored treat is one of the best ways to beat the heat and keep yourself feeling refreshed we're happy to report that this coconut mochi from My/Mochi is easily the most refreshing of the bunch the coconut mochi recipe creates a mochi that is light and airy — it's just hinting at coconut with a lot of the flavor depending on intense creaminess and a splash of sugar we'll find some way to pack these coconut mochis with us for the ride My/Mochi's double chocolate flavor is one of very few My/Mochi flavors that experiment with incorporating a more crunchy texture within the ice cream itself that texture comes from small flakes of chocolate folded into the ice cream center that is made from cane sugar The double chocolate mochi delivers on every promise it makes The chocolate ice cream is luxuriously smooth once you bite into the mochi and the chocolate flakes offer a satisfyingly crisp textural contrast This is the chocolatiest My/Mochi flavor by far it's much more like a big old glass of chocolate milk that you might have on special occasions as a child Perhaps it seems foolish to put a simple flavor like a vanilla bean so high in the rankings Our answer to that is that if that seems silly to you then you're betraying the fact that you haven't had this vanilla bean mochi yet The My/Mochi vanilla bean flavor is gorgeous in its simplicity to lock in that delicious vanilla flavor; you can see the evidence of these vanilla beans throughout the ice cream the taste of the rice dough is actually able to shine through where usually it's overwhelmed by stronger flavors the ice cream and the mochi dough create something familiar yet new a twist that's far more exciting than eating a bowl of vanilla ice cream we were certainly not expecting to taste real pumpkin flavoring when we bit into something labeled "pumpkin spice." This pumpkin spice is a different one than the classic Starbucks collaboration of cinnamon the inspiration for this flavor comes straight from real pumpkin pies — the ingredients include real pumpkin purée and graham cracker crumbs an ingenious innovation that more would-be pumpkin spice makers should consider adopting We were very pleased with the robust flavor of this mochi and the surprise of the graham cracker crumbs all combined to rocket this mochi almost all the way to the top Our second favorite My/Mochi option was the coffee mochi We found that the rice dough on this mochi actually contrasts pretty beautifully with the coffee flavor Rice and coffee aren't a typical combination but maybe they should be: They work in perfect harmony together here to create an incredible bite of chewy espresso goodness The combination of coffee and ice cream tastes just like a perfectly-sweetened latte we would eat one of these every morning — after all all rolled up into one sweet and efficient little ball This mochi was far and away our favorite on the list; once we had a bite of this flavor we realized there wasn't much competition for the top slot My/Mochi's mint chocolate chip mochi contains natural flavors It also includes a fair number of chocolatey flakes but they're pretty subtle and you might not get that many in your mochi bite it's always refreshing to see a white-colored mint-flavored food — more evidence of this brand's commitment to natural dye — and to get a mint chocolate chip ice cream that relies on the quality of its cream rather than the chocolate chips to mask the natural flavors This mochi bravely presents as a plain vanilla mochi but it offers so much more — the chewy exterior and the shock (and subsequent pleasure) of biting through a stray flake of chocolate We plan on stocking our freezers with mint chocolate My/Mochi for many months to come Lightly crispy on the outside and dense and chewy on the inside mochi doughnuts are what happens when American-style doughnuts meet the Japanese treat mochi a sticky confection made from glutinous rice flour They’re only just beginning to gain a foothold in the Boston area but they’re old news to other parts of the country with most United States Mister Donut locations converting to Dunkin’ locations Mister Donut is big in Asia but only exists in a few other parts of the world.) Mister Donut’s pon de ring doughnuts aren’t actually mochi doughnuts; they’re made from tapioca and wheat flours But the distinctive shape also works well for a mochi base so many of the mochi doughnuts popping up around the United States follow that style Others are shaped like a traditional American doughnut two mochi doughnut shops debuted in Allston the first permanent storefronts in the area to focus almost exclusively on the treats They’re not Boston’s first taste of mochi doughnuts though; a local cafe has been selling them since 2017 and a pop-up has been making appearances around the area for about a year now But with the new Allston arrivals essentially doubling Boston’s mochi doughnut bounty they’ll probably be available just about everywhere pretty soon Here’s the rundown on where to find mochi doughnuts around Boston — so far A post shared by Coco Leaf (@cocoleafboston) a Vietnamese dessert or pudding that can be made with a wide range of beans But the cafe has also been selling mochi doughnuts since 2017; they’re currently available at both locations in matcha Keep an eye out: A third Coco Leaf is in the works A post shared by Neighborhood Donut Society (@neighborhood.donut.society) This pop-up first appeared around fall 2020 starting with some pickup opportunities in southeastern Massachusetts Neighborhood Donut Society has been popping up closer to — and within — Boston appearing at places like Colleen’s in Medford and Tokava in Jamaica Plain Past flavors have included pandan coconut with white chocolate; black sesame sugared; pumpkin chai; five-spice chocolate with torched Fluff; and more Founder Anna-Li Claiborne is a hospitality scene veteran having worked both back-of-house and front-of-house positions over the past 25-plus years [the pandemic] seemed like the time for change Helping out at a friend’s bakery and boba shop “ignited [her] interest” in making mochi doughnuts It’s been a family affair, starting with non-stop recipe testing with her daughters and creating a recipe her (American-style) doughnut-loving husband would eat.

Now that’s the real deal! At Ponpon Café we offer you amazing mochinuts with tiramisu We’re totally in love with this amazing “fusion cuisine” Ramen Komainu has already become a hotspot for ramen lovers It is located in Chamberí and everything is prepared in an artisanal way At Ramen Komainu, ordering ramen is obviously mandatory. You have three more classic options such as Tonkotsu (with duroc pork broth), Tori Paitan (with chicken broth) and Kimchi Ramen (pork and poultry broth with Kimchi tare). And for vegetarians or vegans -and those who are not-, there are also delicious alternatives such as creamy miso or Tantamen, a ramen without broth that will delight spicy lovers. But on the menu you also have a few side dishes worth trying. One of those that has become the jewels in the crown is the kakuni, an exquisite dish of pork belly cooked for 24 hours at low temperature and topped with karashi mustard and spring onion. As they would say there, it is pure umami. Not to be forgotten are the homemade gyozas, meat or kimchi, among others. And the dessert moment is a must. The sweet section of the restaurant is another of its strong points. In addition to the homemade cheesecakes, with the Matcha cake at the top, there is the distinctive feature of preparing a limited number of completely homemade mochis per week, which tend to fly fast. Although the term mochi has become widespread in Western culture to refer to this dessert, it should be emphasized that mochi itself is the dry glutinous rice cake. When filled, it is called Daifuku. On this occasion, the Daifuku of yogurt with white chocolate and yuzu and other varieties that change every week are on the menu. However, since only 100 units are made each week, it is one of their most coveted desserts, thanks to the creaminess and texture that comes from being a 100% handmade sweet.

of flavours including matcha which are skewered mochi rice balls covered in a sweet traditional Japanese sauce We’ll admit that mochi is an acquired taste, so if you’re not a fan, you can at least grab some refreshing bubble tea filled with tapioca pearls available in the following flavours: original milk tea The Financial Express Whether it is Gotta Patti of Rajasthan or Kantha of West Bengal Kanchipuram silk of Tamil Nadu or Khneng of Meghalaya each of these possess their distinct qualities collectively enhancing India’s textile richness is that while we continue to take pride in the crafts the countless men and women behind them are largely hidden and often forgotten The Shoemaker’s Stitch: Mochi Embroideries of Gujarat in the TAPI Collection by Shilpa Shah and Rosemary Crill can be called an attempt to undo that Shah is the co-founder of the Textiles & Arts of the People of India (TAPI) collection while Crill was a senior curator of South Asia at the Victoria and Albert Museum for over three decades until her retirement in 2016 from Gujarat’s Kutch and their craft—the chain-stitch embroidery takes the reader on a visual journey through the streets of the Mochis and the fine Aari work by them created for the local rulers and patrons And what rich work they created for purposes as diverse as you can imagine. “It has lent itself to all types of design from the floral arabesques of the Mughal period and the hybrid chinoiserie of the western export market to the stylised flowers parrots and female figures found in colourful garments and hangings made for local patrons in the 19th century,” the book reads Crill and Shah have known each other for 20 years She (Crill) “has known the range and depth of the TAPI collection,” says Shah “ The pandemic provided a window for the collaboration (for The Shoemaker’s Stitch) to happen.” who had earlier collaborated with Shah and her husband Praful on two other books says she has “watched them create one of the world’s most superb collections of Indian textiles” “So this was a great opportunity to focus on another specific aspect of their collection,” she adds “Mochi embroidery has been recognised as one of India’s finest textile crafts for centuries and yet this is the first book (as far as we are aware) to concentrate on this art form,” says Crill Speaking on the intent behind creating this collection by putting attention on the artisans and not the patrons Shah says it is because they (the artisans) are the “starting and the end point of any craft” “the majority of artisans in India (and elsewhere) remain anonymous so it is important to record the unusual amount of family history that has been gathered by the Mochi community itself,” says Crill The collection also debunks the myth that all the Mochi embroiderers were men and gives names and family connections of several noted female embroiderers Far from the general academic way of documenting history The Shoemaker’s Stitch takes the readers on a visual journey spanning from Bhuj in Gujarat and Jaipur in Rajasthan to Sindh in Pakistan to as far as Europe and Zanzibar starting with three brief essays followed by a catalogue illustrating the Aari work spanning almost three centuries “We hope it is readable as well as being both informative and attractive the beauty of the pieces makes the whole book visually appealing.” “Whereas prior to the 2001 earthquake Mochi Street had 30-40 Mochi families residing there has been bereft of a single practitioner of the stitch-craft associated with their name,” the writers observe about the dwindling practice of the textile craft within the community popularity of modern and machine-made clothes While many from the Mochi community have given up the practice the collection’s creators have noted and documented A lot has changed since the time the Aari work developed and won global repute globalisation paved the way for western fashion and clothing in Indian markets it has had a considerable impact on this traditional craft “Fashion has not stood still,” comments Shah The same applies to our traditional attire and social customs consumer taste has radically been transformed with western influence” ghagra-cholis were the everyday wear of Gujarati women contemporary consumers with changing aesthetics and a new group of artisans capable of responding to these changes Crill observes that it is never in the interest of an art form to stagnate and repeat the same patterns over centuries “The adaptation of fine chain-stitch embroideries to modern designs and uses whether done by artisans of Mochi heritage or others can only enrich the craft and keep it alive,” she says On the careful balance between adapting to today’s times while preserving the heritage they say that Indian embroidery has what it takes to adapt to the modern world it is important to preserve and publicise historic examples as an archive to inspire future makers and scholars,” says Crill the TAPI collection’s creator believes that “while we aspire for a future unencumbered by the confines of the past it is vital that our artistic heritage is not erased from memory” “The splendour of Mochi embroidery is a tale that needs retelling,” she adds The Shoemaker’s Stitch: Mochi Embroideries of Gujarat in the TAPI Collection April saw a 3% increase in automobile retail sales in India and a pause in the global tariff war were key factors While all segments except commercial vehicles saw growth cautious consumer behavior and price hikes impacted the market Fei Zhu Lok Lok’s girl boss now also sells mochi in modern flavours like mango pomelo sago she will also be launching a new F&B venture with her sister Gladys Seah which sounds like the Japanese greeting moshi moshi ("hello") the online store sells Instagram-worthy mochi that the sisters make from scratch by hand Gladys, who loves to bake and cook, was inspired to make her own mochi after trying the Japanese confection. “It was very nice, so I told my sister, who is very health conscious, that we should make healthier versions using less sugar,” Phyllis tells 8days.sg over the phone “We R&D-ed for fun and our family really liked it so we experimented with more flavours and eventually started a home-based business.” Phyllis, whose boyfriend is SPOP WAVE! finalist Rao Zijie cheekily shares that Gladys is “also very chio” though she considers herself more sporty than chio you’d find me in sportswear because I work out about six days a week I think I can be quite chio too,” laughs Gladys who used to help out in their family’s recycling business “But I honestly think my sister is more chio than I am,” she adds modestly It took the siblings around six months to R&D and perfect their “melt-in-the-mouth” mochi 8days.sg has not tried the chewy snacks yet which is made from ground Japanese glutinous rice flour Each palm-sized mochi is stuffed with contemporary fillings like flavoured cream or mousse and Oreo cookie bits instead of the traditional red bean paste “I am quite surprised that we managed to achieve this delicate skin texture and mouthfeel The rice cakes come in eye-catching colours and artsy swirls made with natural fruit colouring The mochis are offered in 10 flavours: Blueberry Stars which is made by soaking ladyfinger biscuits in a “special blend of coffee” They are then encased in cream cheese filling and the mochi topped with a dusting of cocoa powder “It tastes just like the actual Italian dessert which is why I insisted we included the flavour,” gushes Phyllis As the mochis are handmade and quite “labour intensive” the sisters plan to limit orders to 100 pieces a week for a start Deliveries are only done on Fridays and Mondays This allows Phyllis to spend more time at her third and newest lok lok stall which opens at a Tampines kopitiam on September 1 Business has been brisk for Fei Zhu Lok Lok after 8days.sg

plan to open lok lok stalls around Singapore So if we can find a suitable space and manpower we hope to have an outlet in Yishun or Woodlands,” she shares The lok lok menu at Tampines is largely the
