Japanese Fruit Flavor Mochi Strawberry & Blueberry, Mango & Peach & Pineapple, Bean Jam Rice Cake Mochi Sampler - 8 Count (Pack of 3)

Silky, lightly sweetened, crisp fruity flavor. This variety pack gives you the opportunity to try different flavors but not a single piece was a disappointment. Very different from traditional red bean or bubble milk tea flavors butt

Before you proceed anywhere on this page...STOP.Do you know what mochi is? (Hint: it's rice)Do you know what daifuku is? (Hint: it's sweetened mochi - basically)What if I told you rice could be made into something like a yummy gummy?Would yummy gummy-like treats filled with a thick, sweet, jelly-like paste interest you?What if that thick, sweet, jelly-like paste was made from beans?Ahhhh, you're running away? :( Oh well. Let's get on with it.I have yet only tried the mango/peach/pineapple package (as of this writing they're all gone) and one of the bean paste, and they are DELICIOUS. Granted, they came in a little smashed and very soft, but... I think I like them that way!They used real fruit juice concentrate for these, so rest assured you're not going to complain that you can hardly taste the difference between each one. The pineapple really SMELLS and tastes like pineapple, the peach really DO make me think of peaches, and the mango... well, to be honest, it's been so long since I had a mango, but it's what I think a mango would smell like.The bean paste ones, as with most Japanese treats, doesn't really taste like "beans." It just tastes sweet, and thick, and... yeah, it's difficult describing it. Nothing like barbecued beans. I thought I was being very daring by eating one, that it was something to brag about to my silly siblings, but it was kind of a let down. Oh well.I can't comment on the strawberry/blueberry ones yet, but I can get an idea from the smell that they won't disappoint. :)Anyway, I loved these. They are very sweet though, and I seriously doubt it's what a native Japanese would call "legit" daifuku, but until the day I can sample the real thing, this is probably the closest I'll get.

You definitely need to keep an open mind for the taste, it has this plain taste at first then with a sweet after it. It's nice an soft so if it's not then do not eat it, reviews lately seems to have the same problem of it being hard. Though mochi is definitely something I'll definitely order again I'm going to get them from a different seller. Though the ice cream mochi is definitely really good so if your not sure about this kind then try the ice cream one, not sure if Amazon sells it but ehh.

I ordered these just like two weeks ago and I tried them right away (room temperature, straight out of the package it arrived in) and while the flavor was okay I really couldn't stand the potato starch and texture. I shoved them in the fridge where they went ignored for the next week because I just wasn't interested.A nice asian lady that my sister buys books from stopped by and we ended up on the subject of foods from around the world. My sister mentioned we have mochi in the fridge and I could see how excited she was to hear that, so I offered her some of my long-ignored treats in the fridge. Of course out of politeness I took one myself.... and this is what I have to say....DO NOT RUIN YOUR FIRST EXPERIENCE BY EATING THEM ROOM TEMPERATURE! These were waaaaaay better fridge cold. Maybe everyone is different on this and some people might like it better the first time to eat them warmer, but for me, it made them go from "it's not gross" to "I need to keep buying this stuff." I ate a bunch after this, and not a single one was bad. I think my favorite so far has probably been the green tea.Now with that being said... my sister does not like them. My little brother doesn't like them. But most of my nieces and nephews do!

I've had a variety of mochi and daifuku before, all ranging from different brands and varying quality. I was excited that I could order daifuku online at a reasonable price.These guys came swiftly and were very soft with a good shelf life. I would have adored these if it weren't for the cloying sweetness...and that's saying something since I have a sweet tooth.Yes, these are supposed to be sweet but good lord...its like eating a handful of gummies or jelly beans. Good daifuku isn't supposed to be like eating candy. If this is your first time with daifuku I'd honestly try another brand.If you still want to give these a try the red bean is the least sweet, followed by fruit and then the berry. It's ok if you want something sugary, but there has to be something better out there.

I'm done. I'm no longer purchasing mochi or daifuku from here again. My first purchase was perfection and tasty. My second purchase was different because it was firm and suddenly gritty one of the packs which was concerning. Now, this is my third purchase and shame on me for not seeing the sign from my second purchase. I'm OFFICALLY DONE BUYING THIS. I rather go to an asian supermarket and get it from there so I can actual see them before I purchase it.What is this...?? This time it's very very firm and some of these mochis are brown to blackish. I didnt want to open it but I had to so yall can see what I'm reviewing. The moment I open this, it has an unfamiliar smell that I had to trash them because I was afraid to eat it. The other to packs, they're very firm as well and the paste is very gritty-like. It's no longer the same consistency I remembered from my very first purchase and it was enjoyable and squishy. I'm sad now.
