YAMASAN KYOTO UJIJapanese Sakura Mochi Candies -Cherry blossom Rice Cakes- Aromatic Flavor of Japanese Spring 300g/10.58oz

If I was to choose something to compare them to, it would have to be Rose flavour Turkish Delight, only softer and perhaps a little milder. The texture is soft and gelatinous, the flavour is sweet, floral, and mild without being bland. I've found that I like them, and though the price is higher than ideal I think I could see myself buying them again.

Nice, light and tasty treats.Good amount of chewiness and a smooth texture.Similar taste to a marshmallow.Would buy againYuzu flavour isn’t nice and texture is horrible

Lovely mochi! Really tasty and sweet and I love the texture, just squidgy slightly-chewy bitesize goodness with a light dusting, and cute packagingOnly took off 1 star because I think it's a bit expensive when it's not on offer, but it's very nice, delivered quickly and you get a fair amount of individual pieces.

Exactly as described, the texture is hypnotically like a flump, and the taste is softly floral and maybe even slightly nutty. Very more-ish.

Very good, tasty sweets.

Things I liked:Individually wrappedSubtle Sakura flavourThings I disliked:Everything else akaTexture.I was excited to try some mochi after a long time, but I was mistaken by thinking that it would be stretchy and firm, like the mochi I've had before. This was a small shapeless blob of rice based sugary nothingness - it has the texture of very loose pudding barely held together by the gluten in the rice itself. The mouthfeel of it made my stomach turn. I couldn't get past it enough to enjoy the subtle flavours - and they were lovely and sweetly scented.If, like me, you order this product thinking it might be a texture closer to mochi used in daifuku or dango or even mochi bricks you can reheat, then be aware this is VERY soft and extremely squishy with no stretch and no toothsome feel to it.If you're into this kind of texture, it's for you and worth trying! (or if texture isn't an issue for you- congrats if not, I'm jealous of you!)I know better now, and I'll be sending the rest of them along to my friends abroad as little extras with their birthday gifts - a feat only doable as they are individually wrapped so I can send a few to each one.

At nearly £15 a bag I had hoped these would make my heart sing but alas they are a bit meh to be honest. I mean they are OK and perfectly good to eat but not £15 good to eat. My daughter agreed as well especially as I hyped these up as a Christmas present.Just not my bag (literally).

These are delicious little mochi candies with a subtle taste of sakura. The texture is soft and pleasant, and they're individually wrapped so they're easy to carry in a purse. I would love to try other flavours!
