Adorable and beautiful little store! Everything in there looked amazing. I got about $50 worth of mochis and other small desserts for myself and family, and they were all well-made and fun to eat. The store itself has nice music playing and chill vibes. The person working there was very kind, too. One of the best places at the Stanford Shopping Center. Would defo recommend
While waiting for my wife to finish shopping, I stopped by the store to see if there was anything interesting.
I asked one of the staff about their signature items, and she recommended a few options.
I ended up buying a peach jelly and Tsuya. The flavors were okay, but nothing particularly impressive to me.
I think these might be better suited as gifts.

The pro: The store is very inviting. Everything looked organized and well presented. The packaging was excellent. I bought 3 kinds of fresh daifuku: Kuri daifuku (chestnut), kinkan daifuku (kumquat) and kusa mochi. My favorite was the chestnut one.
The con: The quality of mochi was disappointing. I was expecting the quality to match the ones I had in Japan. These did not measure up. They are pretty and I enjoyed the variety but if I compare the taste, they are similar...
