[Food] Mr. Mochi Chocolate Flavor

Wile I was aimlessly searching at my local Giant to see if by some hope I would find Ice Cream Mochi that was not Miyakawa, since their mochi can be hit or miss depending on how long it has been on the shelf. I stumbled across Mr. Mochi and starred at the freezer shelf for a bit in disbelief since I was actually successful in my search (well I hoped at least because I really wanted some ice cream mochi!)

I had a few options, all basica flavors, Vanilla, Strawberry, Chocolate and Green Tea. I decided to grab the Chocolate to try out.

They also make a line of ice creams as well under the name Mr Green Tea.

The packaging for these was weird. They come individually wrapped and are in a small foam pocket inside the box that is sealed. This has to be for freshness since the mochi can dry out in freezer boxes. 

Oh my goodness these things taste amazing! The mochi is soft and squishy, the ice cream is really good and rich, they taste like a dream! 

Want to check out Mr. Mochi for yourself? They are on sale at Giant Foods and Stop and Shop on the east coast. Or check out their webpage here!

[Food] Bubbies Ice Cream Mochi

One of my favorite things about Hawaii (well other than the beautiful weather and scenery) is the food! There is such an amazing diverse amount of food available to eat and it was all great (at least what I tried, which this trip was a lot of Japanese food, and a lot of Bubbies!) I seriously wouldn't shut up about how excited I was to get to eat as many Bubbies Ice Cream Mochi as I could handle while I was there!

Bubbies is a local Hawaiian Ice Cream company, that also make delicious Ice Cream Mochi (in my opinion it is the best I have ever tried, for the moment.) They have 20 flavors (I believe they add others from time to time.) I have tried 10 of the flavors, and I really cannot say a bad thing about any of them! The ice cream is delicious, and the mochi is soft and chewy.

During my trip this time I tried the Lychee, Li Hing Mango, Chocolate Mint, Blueberry, Passion Fruit, and Guava. Many of these I had tried on my last visit to Honolulu 10 years ago, and the Blueberry is still one of my favorite flavors that they make, it is just so good.

I was able to find Bubbies sold individually at Lawsons Market in downtown Waikiki and at Tea Boss as well, but they also sell them in grocery stores all over Honolulu.

(I purchased mine years ago at a coffee shop that had different flavors each day too.) depending on the grocery stores you visit depends on your selection. I visited a Safe Way that only had three flavors and a Foodland that had six flavors.

On the mainland, depending on where you live you can even find Bubbies at Whole Foods and some higher end grocery stores, but it is hit or miss if your store will have them (I know the ones near me do not, while I have friends who can get them easy.)

The packaging for the store bought Bubbies is really nice too presentation wise. The boxes have 8 ice cream mochi pieces in them, and have a piece of tissue paper over them.

If you get the chance definitely try them out! They are delicious and your taste buds will thank you! Check out Bubbies online here!

[Japanese Snacks] Cafe Cat & Paw Marshmallows

Japan has this amazing knack for making super cute food items! And the Cafe Cat Marshmallows are no different! These super cute marshmallows that have a little kitty or its paws peaking out from your cup of hot cocoa.

Each box comes with cute art on the front and six individually wrapped marshmallows in it! The packaging for these was fantastic, the presentation was just as amazing as the marshmallows taste and overall quality! The ribbons were an added thing they did for the Christmas holiday season!

Look how cute those little kitties are! Just waiting to peak out of your hot drink (or drown, either way you want to think about it ;) )

Each box has six wrapped marshmallows. Two Kitty heads, and four paws (2 vanilla and 2 chocolate.)

Look how cure this guy is!

Vanilla paws you just want to boop!

And the chocolate ones!

They also look super cute in a cup of cocoa! 

But soon the cuteness melts away.....

These boxes can only be bought in Japan through buying services or the official webpage for the Cafe Cat&Paw here. I got lucky and one of my friends did an order for them, The webpage also has other really cute marshmallows and other products too!  They also have a Facebook Page with lots of cute photos!
