The mochi itself was tasty — I’ve had similar ones from Don Quijote and really enjoy the flavor. That said, the store could really use some cleaning. The floor was a bit dirty, and some mochi in open packaging were just sitting on the counter, which gave the impression they’d been left over or handled. Overall, the hygiene standards didn’t feel great, which made the experience less enjoyable.

Mochi was excellent but customer service was bad. The store was dirty and the floors were greasy. The store definitely needs a makeover and lessons on customer service.

The mochi selection was very limited when we visited but the mochi was good. The inside was a bit cramped.

Their selection was limited to the day's production.

What a treat! Simply delicious. I can definitely recommend you to go and find out for yourself.

The best mochi on the island! Do not miss. It doesn't matter what flavor you get. You will be blown away!

Good mochi. Haven't tried their exotic flavours yet - like Peanut Butter or Mango - just the basic, good-ol-fashioned red bean paste and sesame. I keep saying the next time I come here I will try the exotics, and then end up buying the traditional ones. Maybe next time.
Their rice series is not bad as well - sansai and sekihan. They run out fast though - it seems - since they're usually sold out by the time I get there in the PM. Maybe next time - in the AM.
Staff are all hard working - I couldn't help but take their pic - there's no idle chatting here - all business. And mochi.

Love your chocolate peanut butter mochi, but it seams you have dropped that combo and are just doing peanut butter. Please bring back the chocolate peanut butter with light chocolate mochi. I am having withdrawals
Thank you ❤️

Here you can find various sweets, including freshly made soft rice cakes, as this is a direct sales outlet for a traditional Japanese confectionery factory. The mochi cakes were surprisingly soft and chewy, and they were absolutely delicious.?

Haven't been to the location yet, but was able to snag some at Don Quiote. This is some yum yum mochi; can't wait to visit sometime.

The fresh mango mochi here is soooo good! A juicy huge slice of mango gets covered with a thin layer of sweet white bean paste and fresh mochi. Personally we could have done without the bean paste as it almost makes the mochi overall too sweet, but the overall freshness, satisfaction and juiciness are just unbeatable for five bucks. The ladies working here make the mochi fresh and are so kind to help you check their stock or reserve mochi for you if you call ahead too (which we recommend cuz this mango mochi sells out fast by the afternoon!!).

Go earlier i think for more selection? I got there right after lunch and there wasn't much to choose from. But, they quickly offered and packaged some additional styles for my purchase so a big thanks to them!

The dango and mochi are outstanding. I cannot wait to sample every flavor.

Brian Mito

Very soft and smooth mochi!
