Japanese Rice Cake Mochi Daifuku (Assorted)15.8 oz

always happy with these!

These tasted good, just not my favorites

All right, I'll try not to make this review too convoluted and drawn out. I live in a very rural area and we don't have any sort of Asian grocery for miles, so I just don't have access to these kinds of foods. I've always seen mochi in various anime, manga, ect... and wanted to try it out of curiosity. Now, let's get to the review. The mochi itself isn't really like anything we have here in the states. About the closest thing I can compare it to would be a marshmallow. Mochi is basically a decently sized, hollowed out marshmallow with various fillings and various coating on top of it. This is a rough comparison of course. The red bean mochi was delicious. It had the consistency of crushed beans (which I didn't dislike at all) and was mildly sweet. It would go perfectly with a beverage like green tea. The peanut butter mochi was great because I happen to love peanut butter. It had peanut butter filling and a peanut crumble coating on the top. Lastly, the sesame flavor is absolutely terrible. I tried one and it reminded me of charred coconut shavings that had lost its flavor. All in all, if you've never tried mochi before like me, and you're wondering what all the hype is about, go ahead and try it. If you're open to new things I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I've never had this before so I'm not quite sure how it is supposed to taste. I chose to buy this because it was the cheapest one that I came across at the time, I don't know if that affects the quality of the product but here is my personal experience with this product. This will be a long post so bare with me. Your experience may differ. To start out, I read everything I could about this particular product, the good and the bad and the one thing everyone said more than anything was that the peanut confectionary was very pungent, and I thought 'I love peanut butter, so that wont really be a problem.' so I bought them. Regular/Red paste: Ok in flavor, a little grainy. Not disgusting but certainty not appetizing. Brown/Peanut butter: Little to no peanut butter taste or smell. Not pungent at all and just not good. Sesame seed/Black paste: A lot of seeds. I couldn't really taste the paste inside. Over all a dull smoky flavor. They all had: A spongy texture and complete bland flavor. To be fair, the peanut butter smell was on the box after I opened it but only for a minute or two and the package itself wasn't peanut butter smelling either, the confectionary didn't even have that much of a scent. I think that perhaps, living in America, I've been surrounded by a large quantity of rather overly sweet foods and snacks so perhaps my tasting is a bit sewed on this which could reason why they tasted dull. I realize that this is the Japanese style confectionary made in Taiwan so this may have something to do with the taste also, aside from the fact that I've never had much, if anything, like this. The confectionary in general seemed a bit like it had been frozen, a cool and thick paste, nothing like the spilling, more runny look on the box. This I can understand for shipping reasons, otherwise it would be rotten, so nothing wrong there. I thought I would leave them out a bit, to soften up but it didn't really work, so I thought I would put them in the microwave, to heat them a bit. (HUGE mistake on my part, I have no patience at all!!) Long story short: 20sec is too long and will melt everything, making these, if it's even possible, way more inedible than they were previously. To wrap this up, I would say that this is a one time buy for me but certainly worth the experience. It seems like a lot of people love this so don't be discouraged on buying them just yet. This wasn't something I was totally into but it was worth the money to find out.

I ordered these via Prime and received them 2 days later. The ones I received have an expiration date 4 months in the future and are very "fresh" and soft. I received one 15.8 ounce package as advertised and Amazon's breakdown per ounce is correct. Included are sesame-covered black sesame paste-filled, peanut dust-covered peanut butter-filled, and white red bean paste-filled mochi. None of these are very sweet. In fact, I'd bet there's very little added sugar. The sesame ones were, in fact, a bit bitter. Surprisingly, the peanut butter ones are my favorites. Usually, I'd prefer the ones with red bean paste but those seem to lack a strong flavor. If you're not familiar with mochi, you'll either be in for a treat or will want to throw them out (or up). As another reviewer noted, they have a gummy bear-like, spongey-ish texture that's either delightful or disgusting. The texture is similar to Gummi Life Savers, but with a flavored paste inside. I love them. My husband does not. More for me!

This Mochi is so delicious. I bought it for myself and a friend and she said she's now been spoiled. She had originally gotten a different brand in a department store and much prefers this brand. I've only had Mochi ice cream so I have nothing to compare it to. Her favorite is the peanut flavor and my favorite is the sesame flavor. All the flavors are very deep and the paste is rich and Smooth. The outer layer is also very Smooth; I really like the texture, it is slightly chewy but does not stuck to your teeth. I had originally purchased it for $9 and it has gone up to $12 recently and I would still repurchase it at $12. Even at $15 it would be worth purchasing in my opinion. I think what I like best is that it has a few different flavors so you don't have 15 of just one flavor.

These had a very bad taste, the package had moisture in it and the candies went bad in just a few days. I love mochi, but these where not very good at all, they looked old right out of the package. Also they did not look like the picture of what I ordered, they where flat and very heavy, I think they should be light?

Mochi acheter pour un défis découverte ! Le résultat est très apprécié des convives. Je recommande et a vous de jouer !

Quasi come essere in Giappone

Cela ressemble au marshmallows. C'est très bon.

Sehr gut, würde ich immer wieder kaufen. :-)
