Signature Dishes
Peanut Mochi Shaved Ice
Hot mochi is coated in peanut powder, placed in condensed-milk shaved ice, and served with tender, well-cooked peanuts; it creates an ice-and-heat contrast and stays soft and chewy, but the sweetness may run high.
Red Bean Mochi Shaved Ice
Hot mochi is cut into pieces over condensed-milk shaved ice with soft, smooth red beans; it is sweet overall, and the condensed milk may be heavy for those who prefer less sweetness.
Hot Mochi
Served hot, the mochi is soft and chewy with a warm bite, while the sesame and peanut powders are fragrant; sweetness ranges from half-sweet to quite sweet.
Red Bean and Peanut Soup
The red bean and peanut soup has a balanced sweetness and is warming when served hot.
Sesame-Powder Mochi
Mochi coated in sesame powder does not harden easily on contact with ice and stays soft and chewy when warm; the condensed milk and shaved ice are more ordinary.
