Product Description

As Marie Antoinette once said, “Let them eat Mochi Daifuku”. Okay, not exactly but probably because she had never had one. These wonderful, bite-sized confections are on everyone’s “Love It” list. The Mochi, a short grained rice, covers a generous portion of sweet red bean paste. The name Mochi Daifuku means Good Luck. Once reserved for the Emperor and nobles due to its omen for good fortune, Mochi is now traditionally eaten on New Year and enjoyed by many. They have become popular to give as wedding gifts as an omen of a Happy Marriage. Mochi is commonly enjoyed for many occasions and ceremonies throughout Japan and Taiwan.

To make their Mochi Daifuku, Royal Family Foods uses the best glutinous rice flower. This produces the perfect rice skin which is bouncy, smooth and white and won’t stick to your teeth. The rice paste is molded around a filling of red adzuki bean paste sweetened with sugar. With only 6 calories from fat per cake these delicious cakes are sure to fit any waistline. Each cake measures about 1.2 inches (3cm) in diameter.

These Japanese style cakes are packaged six to a box, each with its own paper holder, making them perfect for gift giving. Please note this product is produced in factories where peanut, gluten, soybean and nuts are also handled. Product of Taiwan.
