Reviewers rave about the mochi with azuki jam and leaf, praising its delicate sweetness and silky texture. The overall vibe is one of understated elegance, perfect for a refined, comforting treat.
“We stopped here for a mochi. We read very good things — they make mochi like they do in Japan. This one has the legendary azuki jam inside, and it's wrapped in a sakura leaf. You have to like the stickiness, which is characteristic of all Japanese sweets. The azuki jam is inside, the herbaceous and sweet flavour of the cherry leaf is a nice discovery. It's good. In all supermarkets in France you find a freezer full of mochi ice cream, but finding artisanal ones is not easy even in Japan. These are really, really well made.”
