A famous mochi shop located near Xingtian Temple. The stall is located directly on the roadside. I personally don’t particularly like mochi, but my family said they wanted to eat it, so I bought it to try it out.
There are a total of 6 flavors: original, red bean, mung bean, peanut, sesame, and taro. Each one is $12. A box of 6 is $70. If you buy two boxes, you will get another one for free.
The mochi are super big, with a nice outer shell and a lot of stuffing inside. We bought the mixed flavor, which means you get one piece of each flavor. It feels like opening a treasure chest, and you don’t know what flavor you will eat.
peanut flavor
There are peanut powder and sugar powder inside, which is delicious but not special in comparison, because the outer layer of mochi is also peanut powder.
red bean flavor
The filling is very dense red bean paste, which is not too grainy and not too sweet. Even I, who don’t like red beans, like it.
Strawberry Daifuku is now sold for $50 a piece and $90 for a box of 2. My family also bought a box to give it a try. I didn’t eat it, but it looked pretty good. My family’s opinion was, “The strawberries are very big. It’s too sweet, mainly due to the sweetness of the red bean paste, but that’s why the whole thing tastes just right.”
Overall, I would recommend it to people who like to eat mochi. If you go to Xingtian Temple to pay homage, you can stop by and buy a box to eat as a snack.
