Mochi Cream

Mochi Cream
Mochi Cream is a Japanese confectioner whose product is similar to mochi ice cream, like that found by pioneered Mikawaya.

Wide Variety of Flavors
Mochi Cream's dessert are about the size of a golf ball, and have a myriad of flavors, some traditionally Japanese such as Sakura (Cherry Blossom), Green Tea, Azuki Bean, Sweet Potato, Black Sesame, and Green Soybean.

There are other flavors more familiar to most Americans such as Chocolate Banana, Double Mango, Caramel Machiatto, Blueberry, Chocolate, etc.

Mochi Cream is different than mochi ice cream in that the center is a sweetened white bean paste.  I tried getting more information from the employee working there, and my guess would be a sweetened lima bean filling.  The beans are ground to a very fine paste, as there is no "grit" but does have a slight texture to it.

Some of the mochi creams also have a fruit puree in the middle in addition to the "ice cream".

Although frozen when purchased, it is advised to let it thaw 10-15 minutes before eating.

Mochi Cream is very expensive for what you get, $2+ per piece.

Of the few I tried my favorite was the Caramel Machiatto, Chocolate Banana and Dark Chocolate.


The Double Mango was nothing special, and with the Azuki, I'd rather eat regular mochi for the price point.
