Description
Soft, chewy, sweet glutinous rice dough wrapped gently around cold, rich scoops of premium ice cream. Featuring popular flavors like matcha green tea, strawberry, or vanilla, mochi ice cream combines traditional Japanese sweet mochi texture with a refreshing frozen core. Each bite delivers a delightful interplay of soft, pillowy dough and cold creamy ice cream.
A Taste of History
Mochi ice cream was created in Los Angeles in 1993 by Frances Hashimoto and her husband Joel Friedman at Mikawaya, a century-old Japanese confectionery. Building on daifuku (rice cake filled with sweet red bean paste), they spent years perfecting a chewy mochi wrapper that stays soft even when wrapped around ice cream and frozen.
