Japanese Rice Cake Mochi Daifuku (Assorted)15.8 oz

The red bean paste was tasty and not to sweet, well worth for the price.

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 think mochi is an acquired taste. The red bean was by far my favorite as it was slightly sweet and went well with tea, but for those that have never tried it they might want to start with the peanut since it would probably be a familiar taste (or so my mother said when she tried it). I wasn't a fan of the peanut butter, but I think its because of my personal preference versus it being of bad quality. My little brother liked them and he's a picky eater. The sesame wasn't bad, but it was a bit strange. The paste was grainy as some of the reviews said, but I would think that since it was made out of ground black sesame seeds that it would be expected. It was interesting, but I wouldn't buy that flavor again. Seeing as the rating was a bit lower than what I was looking for I read through most of the other reviews first. I ordered mine around New Year's which might have affected the quality. They didn't have a new shipment till the third of January which was fine considering some of the accounts of the product coming in stale or moldy. A new shipment should be fresh after all. The weather here keep them cool which might have helped. They came in good condition and were wonderful. I would definitely buy from them again.

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!
