The woman at the window was so kind! I ordered a tray of 8, but I regret not getting more!! The mochi (manju) are so soft and pillowy... I got the green tea, pink and white, peanut butter, and the butter mochi. They're all so delicious!!
I traveled all the way from Alaska for this mochi and it was 100% worth my time. Sweetest employees and the butter mochi is perfectly buttery, not overly sweet and has a nice semi-soft flaky topping. The strawberry dango is lightly flavored. The portions are amazing. I spent $30 for a box of 12 pieces.
The reviews are real, im so happy
We got 10 of the most popular mochis, and I’m not gonna lie, imo I thought they’re like at most 10% better than some other mochis (Nijiya across the street). I loved the butter mochi, the kinako, and the pink white. The other azuki bean filled mochis taste sort of the same (or maybe my palate’s kinda bad). The steamed cake was disappointing for me. For chi chi dango, for some reason the weekly flavour (passionfruit) was so much more flavourful and softer than the regular strawberry one which tasted artificial, so definitely make that choice.
Pretty solid mochis. Got a box of 4 (yomogi, green tea, peanut butter, butter mochi) for $10. Can mix and match flavors however you like. Mochis were a nice texture, the ones with red bean paste were really sweet though. I think the best ones are the butter and peanut butter, but overall their not on Japan level. Maybe the best we got here. They take contactless payments and are very efficient. It is just an order window and as soon as you pay they will hand you your order. Street parking but free residential street parking a block or 2 north
Cute little hole in the wall with great mochis. Went here because a friend strongly recommended and glad I did :) Peanut butter was one of my fav! Oh, and try to go earlier because they usually sell out closer to 2/3 when they close.
So friendly, takes orders online or by phone to ensure you get your favorites. Thank you for perfection and so tasty every time.
Run as fast as you can towards this place. We even brought home a 4-pack of butter mochi to Denver today. The texture, the sweetness, the moistness of the dessert. It was an impromptu stop on the way to the airport and I am so happy we went back for seconds! 🤤🤤
I don't know if we got a bad batch or something, but we ordered the red bean mochi and the filling literally tasted like an ashtray. Not sure if their chef smokes or what happened, but we took one bite and had to toss it. Got some girl scout cookies from here though and those were fine,
😍😍😍

Manny are delicious.
Best Japanese mochi in the bay. Been visiting this place since 2019. Their mochis are made fresh and yes they do go bad real fast if you don't consume them within 3-4 days. They're super soft with some chew, the perfect blend imo. I've been preordering and picking it up, they've never disappointed. Favourites are the chichi daango, yokan, and kinako.

I was finally able to purchase it on my third visit. 4 pieces for $10. Kinakomochi is a fluffy liquid. Almost a drink. The red bean paste is also elegant. The butter mochi has a Hawaiian flavor. Old-fashioned homemade taste. Healing that you no longer eat. I wonder how many people's hearts have been comforted and healed so far.

Shuei-Do has always been one of my go tos for homemade mochi in the Bay Area and even more so now that Benkyodo closed down.
Highly recommend the butter mochi, white bean mochis, Monaka, and if you’re curious to try other ones, kinako.
They do run out on the weekends and towards the end of the day.
While mochi is vegan/ gluten free, they sometimes use non gluten free and dairy ingredients.
