    Hidden in between warehouses on a side road of Dillingham. Lots of construction, potholes, and working vehicles in this parking lot. Be careful when parking and read the signage to not block garages of other warehouses. Significant history! Over 100 years of business. Come here for the chichidango. The Manju is not really Japanese tasting with the breading very thick and the azuki red bean was so dry. With the Honolulu magazine ratings, I expected better. The mochi comes in a variety of fillings. Azuki is a classic and is a perfect not sweet. Lillikoi had a nice sour flavor. Lima filling was a bit dry (white bean).

    A total hole in the wall mom and mom feel of a place where these sweet ladies run the show. Each piece is about $1.25 and not much more and they are so fresh and good! There are very rarely any mochi specializing stores in the US. So it’s amazing.

    My favorite mochi in town. My favorite flavor is the lilikoi one. Is so tasty. A lot of people doesn’t like the texture but for my is amazing . Also I don’t eat them every day. The girl at the counter is very gentle. They don’t have so many stalls for parking . But because is like a on the go store, the parking was easy. Also they open at 7:00 am so the is very convenient when you need to have your mochis early in the morning

    Such a great spot for mochi lovers! The mochi is the perfect texture and they have a fun variety of flavors, including a unique peanut butter mochi that’s surprisingly good, but the real standout for me is the melon flavor. Definitely worth a visit!
