Apparently, you can’t drink water in the store. I have never seen a food serving place prohibit drinking water before. I left because of that.

Okay. Seriously. The strawberry peanut butter mochi is the greatest thing I’ve ever tasted. I wish it wasn’t SO expensive though. I love it so much.

The mango mochi was so good as if I was biting into the fruit itself. It was really soft almost like a marshmallow but still chewy like mochi. I’ll be back to try more flavors.

Everything here is delicious!! I especially like the fruit jelly mochi. There is not much space inside, so if you have a large group of people, recommend having them wait outside while someone stays inside to pay because otherwise, other customers can’t place orders.
Obviously, they have amazing mochi. They have a wide selection and many other items available in store as well. You can buy prepackaged mochi or make your own set (smallest package is 6 pieces for 12$). 15$ credit card minimum and they don't accept Amex. Staff are nice and helpful. Also, I don't normally enjoy fruity mochi, but the blueberry was so good!

It's hard to explain the feeling. When you are preparing to buy a gift for a friend, the male clerk is very perfunctory and even lazy to organize your gift box. You ask if you can have an extra sticker to mark it, but the answer is no. The color of the ribbons of other gifts looks I asked if I could change it to the same color, but the answer was no. I was very disappointed. Since I came back to Los Angeles to visit my family, I have been bringing my daughter to buy mochi every week, whether I have to queue or not. We are looking forward to it and happy. This time I spent more than $100 on gifts and the service I received was very unprofessional and disappointing. Even the gift bag cost $1. And I have more than one person. One of them experienced the Pearl Harbor incident during World War II. The Japanese stores that have survived are amazing, but if their service is not as rigorous and methodical as the Japanese, it would be a waste of their 130-year reputation.

This was not my first visit to Little Tokyo, but it was my first visit to Fogetsu-Do. I feel a bit silly. They are obviously an institution and worthy of a visit by everyone. I told them to fill a box of 12 with their soft custom mochi. Much faster than trying to figure out what all the flavors are on the spot.
Parking: There are many paid parking options nearby, though some can be filled up.
Kid-friendliness: It’s a candy store! Lots of options for kids.
Wheelchair accessibility: It is a small shop crowded full of people.

Fugetsu-Do about it. Or don’t! Such a cool shop, I usually get a big assortment of the mochi and then furtively eat it while suspiciously eyeing people walking down the street. 5/5

We drive from Tempe, Arizona just to get the mochi here. The rainbow dongo is the best!! Even in Japan, nothing tastes as good as here.
My fiancé is Japanese and he and his family love this place above all other mochi palaces we’ve ever been to! It’s simply the best.

Fugetsu-Do is such a treasure in Little Tokyo. Entering this shop is like walking into a place that takes you back in time. Their love to making mochi is visible in all the little details and variety and their taste is amazing. I never had such good mochis before. Highly recommend!

Quaint mochi shop with a long history off making delicious confectionery treats.
You can order to go or pick up, but there is no seats to eat your snacks/mochi. A fairly decent assortment available.
You can choose to make your own set (e.g. 6-pack) or choose one of the prepackaged mochi.
Hard to say what is our favorite... too many choices. They tend to have the chocolate, peanut butter, and rainbow mochi available at japanese grocery stores in the area.
