Shirakiku Kameda Daifuku Mochi Sticky Rice Cake, Red Bean, 12.72 Ounce

Nice to be able to buy when at 2nd home in Montana where Asian food and treats are difficult to buy.

These mochi are pretty decent. Price is a bit up there compared to the asian grocery I visit but the price works when I don't have to drive 2 hours one way to get to said asian grocery store. They're always great quality, the flavor sometimes lacks but they're still pretty tasty.

These are no where near the real thing and a real disappointment. The red bean filling is anemic and has the look and consistency of refried beans. It doesn't taste like red bean either. The mochi is a really odd consistency. It's soft and all but it has additives that make it less like mochi and more westernized and more highly processed. If commercial Mochi can be found with ingredients of glutenous rice, red bean, sugar - that's the real thing. Real mochigashi is truly delicious and while chewy, it's not like chewing gum. This is a sad substitute. It looks like most don't know what the difference is, which is sad. It just means a speedier end to authenticity.

O m, g, they're so good, thank you

I was really excited about getting these because I haven't been able to get to the Korean or Japanese markets in quite awhile. Oh God these are terrible! They don't taste fresh. Even though the expiration date hasn't come up yet, they taste kind of old. They definitely are not worth how much I paid for them. Honestly, I'd rather learn how to make the sweet red bean paste myself and the mochi dough. Ive eaten quite a lot of these types of Daifuku buns and several different types These are not the freshest... ugh Very disappointed
