YAMASAN KYOTO UJI Japanese Sakura Mochi Candies, Real Traditional Cherry blossom Rice Cakes, 300g/10.58oz, Japanese Snacks, Japanese Candy, Individually Wrapped

As always, ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. I first found these in the first Bokksu subscription box you get (I think it's called something like Seasons of Japan, I'm not 100% sure what the name of the box is) when you subscribe to Bokksu, and I searched for them for WEEKS. I finally found them available on Amazon - of all places, when I couldn't find them ANYWHERE else for individual sale - and I can't stop myself from binge eating them. The only way to prevent it is by having my friend hold onto the bag and ration them out to me. To me, they taste like bouncy, silky marshmallows with that gorgeous floral-tea taste on the end. Absolutely sinful. Not an overwhelming sweetness, either. Just the perfect amount to let you know it's a sweet treat, not just smacking you in the face with sugar. These are a STAPLE in my household and will be for as long as they're available for me to purchase, I don't give a damn how expensive it is. It is worth EVERY PENNY.

I've had these in my "save for later" list for the past two years. I ended up putting more traditional (and inferior!) Easter basket candies. These are just delightful, lightly sweet mochi! They give off the perfect springy vibes and I think they've set off a mochi kick lol. I don't know yet if the kids will like them but I love them 😍Side note, I have one "texture sensitive" child, who doesn't eat anything with words or "designs" on it. You have no idea how hard that is to find! So these are perfect little unassuming lumps. Now I don't have to melt the design off a Cadbury egg lol.

Tasty and kinda addicting.

Has a lot of sugar, and I mean A LOT. 3 pieces are about 34 grams of sugar! But it doesn’t taste that sweet, are you trying to put me in a sugar coma without knowing? It also is good, size also is small but it’s fine since there’s a lot. Did I also mention it’s fresh and with no smell as they say, it even has a vibrant pink color! But for 20 dollars it is on the pricey side for how small it is.. Though the only MAJOR complaint I have is LOWER THE SUGAR AMOUNT!!

I really enjoyed these. I love. Cherry blossom, flavored things and these went really well with the Japanese green tea I had.

Really interesting. Tastes strange but not unpleasant. It's not hard candy and it's not gummy, it's almost like chewing gum consistency

These are incredible. I'm not a fan of floral flavors and indeed the first bite I took I wasn't sure if I would like it, but after my second piece I could probably have inhaled the whole bag in one sitting. The texture is amazing - perfectly chewy and pillowy soft. The flavor is delicate and not overpowering at all, and paired with the natural rice flavor of the mochi it gives off a comforting warm flavor. 10/10 will be buying these again.

I live where mochi is mostly ice cream inclusive or taro/matcha/durian so this turned out to be a good option for me, who doesn't like any of those. The texture was better than most, but not quite "there" for traditional mochi. Also, these were too sweet and instead of getting that real, floral sakura flavor, it is over-sweetened to the point the flavor is overwhelmed and tastes exactly like a peep. Good think I like peeps, but, if I wanted one of those, I'd just buy them (for a lot less than these cost). On the fence about buying again - waiting to receive and taste a different brand's Yuzu flavor, to decide.
