BEST wagashi in the West Coast indeed!

I waited to try the other wagashi place we found in the Sacramento area before reviewing this place and therefore we conclude, they have the best mochis!

Staff is super friendly and kind 😭 would really love to go here again if ever we are down in SoCal!

Almost too beautiful to eat! The mochi here is delicious, they sell out fast and with good reason.

We try to come a couple times later in the afternoon, it was closed or sold out. We finally able to get in around noon and they only have a few pieces left.

The mochi is very fresh and delicious, definitely worth it. It’s also decorated super cute. Very good gift or treat!

If you want to experience traditional Japanese mochi, I recommend it. It is a Japanese mochi branch located in Gardena that has been around for 40 years. Although there are not many kinds of mochi, you can taste mochi made directly by the family with various tastes. You can have a pleasant experience for your eyes and mouth. It is a small family, but it makes you feel like you are in Japan. The staff is also kind and explains each mochi one by one.

Protect this place at all costs! I came in at 1pm but as I walked in an employee tells me they unfortunately sold out, but she runs to the back to give me day old ones they won’t sell for free. Come early for the best variety/to avoid selling out

I am very partial toward Japanese wagashi and I do compare them to what I had in Japan. So it is not easy for me to remark that although the wagashi is very beautiful, the taste was not that great, considering what the reviews have for this place. I drove 3 counties to get here and I had high hope that the taste would be good; but alas, it doesn't live up to the hype. Fugetsu is actually better. So I am rather disappointed. I gave this a 4 stars ratings because they are exquisite, just the taste was not up to Japanese standard. Nothing wrong with it, hence, the 4 stars.

It's like a little Japan that got in LA. This mochi shop is authentic and has such exquisite mochi made by Japanese. It was sold out 3hrs when we bought the last few of it. We bought the assorted 12 pieces and it tasted just like Japan version.

Really good mochi to go. They're so pretty. They are filled with green bean or red bean paste. Tasty and soft, but not too sweet. Cash-only. Place cash in the tray like in Japan, don't hand them the cash.

Great handmade mochi. Unique selection and great flavors. Be sure to arrive early as they sell out fast. They are also cash only but it's worth it! I will definitely be visiting again earlier next time to see the full selection of sweets!

Tried this place for the first time and I came to the realization that all the mochis I’ve had in the past were not good quality mochi. Def worth the hype. ?? this changes the mochi game.
