Royal FamilyJapanese Mochi Variety Pack Including Red Bean, Taro, Green Tea and Peanut, 29.6 oz

Thank you for the quick shipping. They are delicious. Just what I expected.

dI want to start by saying that I am not an expert on Mochi, or what makes a really great Mochi, however, I do know when a product tastes fresh, and tastes good. This Mochi seemed very fresh and had some wonderful and interesting flavors. When the package arrived it was surprised at how heavy it was. I opened the package and it contained 4- 7.4oz, separate boxes of Mochi, in 4 different flavors (taro, peanut, red bean, green tea). At the time I purchased these the cost was around $12 so that would make each box about $3 each which I considered a fair price for the generous amount of Mochi I received. Each box has 6 nice sized pieces of Mochi. Each individual piece is a little over an ounce and was in its own little paper cup ($$if you look at other peoples pictures you will see what I mean). The Mochi I received was very soft, chewy, and fresh. It was wonderful to have all of the different flavors to choose from. I have to say that the peanut was my favorite (as other reviewers have mentioned). It kind of reminded me of the taste of an Abba-zabba (if anyone remembers that candy). My next favorite had to be the red bean. The taste is hard to compare to anything else. It’s just a subtle sweet flavor. The Taro is much like the red bean that it also hard to describe but I would say it taste like a good yam or sweet potato 🍠. Then there is the green tea which has a a strong floral flavor exactly like a good green tea.I have to say that Mochi is one of those things that you either like it or you don’t. It’s squishy, soft, and chewy (like good gum), so if you don’t like that kind of texture, then you probably won’t like Mochi. I find that kids love it for that squishy x cases it’s an acquired taste that grows on you. For me, I wasn’t that found of it at first but now I love it and I want all the time.To conclude, I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes Mochi or is interested it trying something fun and different. Also, another item to try is ice cream wrapped in Mochi. That’s a real taste treat. I hope my review encourages some people to give Mochi a try. Take care and Enjoy 😊

-- They've raised prices since I left my review.... keep that in mind.I'd give 5 stars if the first package I received wasn't close to the expiration date. The taste and quality was very different than the second package which was fresher and tastier. I was desperate for mochi so I went ahead and gave this product a second try. I would say overall daifuku's mochi tastes the best, but this one isn't that far behind and they give you a sampler that's reasonably priced on Amazon.A single pack could cost anywhere from 4-5 bucks (3 if you find a good deal), but you get all of their flavors! You do save a bit of money by not going and buying each individual flavor. The only downside is i wish they would let you choose what flavors you want in your sampler. If they cut me a deal like this for 4 boxes of taro mochi I'd keep reordering!Flavors best to worst:Peanut butter is probably the best. The mochi has a nice nutty flavor and the filling is a dollop of peanut butter.Taro is tasty. Good amount of taro flavoring, but its not super strong like in some boba teas for instance. The majority of the taro flavor comes from the filling.Red bean is the most bland. Packaged red bean mochi tends to be bland overall, but this one is even more bland than other brands I've tasted (daifuku's & rice cake's).I'm not a fan of the green tea flavor. It reminds me A LOT of the green tea flavor in Halo Top's green tea/mochi ice cream. It's that very chemical, perfume tasting green tea flavor. It straight up tastes like green tea perfume if that could be a thing. Very bitter.

You know, I saw the three and a half star rating and got a little worried, but I had nothing to be worried about. The product is stellar, the items arrived quickly, and I will be ordering these again. The textures are the best I've found with this brand. I usually get them from BB&B, and they're overly solid and dense there. This seller shipped a product that was stretchy and gooey, just how mochi should be.None of them are overly sweet, so if you're looking for that sugar rush then you might not be impressed. And I will admit, the green tea one isn't phenomenal compared to the others (taro and red bean are my favorites), but I didn't get a perfume-y taste to it. It just kind of tasted like mild green tea and not much else. I had never tried the peanut, so that ended up being a wonderful treat.I understand the reviews that were pissed with having a spoiled, sour product, and I would be pissed as well if my grocery had been out of date. However, what I received was fresh, and as someone who purchases this specific brand of mochi relatively often, this is the best choice I've found so far. Of course boxed mochi isn't going to be as good as homemade mochi, and comparing the two just isn't fair. Seems like the more recent reviews are the more positive ones, so perhaps the seller has up'd their game. And if they have, fair play, because it worked.This is the best option I have found, and 4 for $15 is a brilliant price. I will be ordering more right after I write this review, and I'm not even done with the ones that were sent to me. If the next order is as good as the first, I imagine I'll be a frequent customer.
