Melissa's lineup of Royal Mochi from Taiwan offers three distinct flavors of the beloved soft and chewy rice-cake confection. Creamy Matcha Latte balances grassy green tea with a soft sweetness; Chocolate offers a deep cocoa finish; and Peanut Butter delivers a rich and roasted nuttiness. Every individually-wrapped piece of Melissa's Royal Mochi is pillowy and pleasantly chewy, dusted to keep each bite tender and easy to handle. Mochi are perfect for anyone looking for a gluten-free dessert bite, and these are portioned for easy sharing and snacking. Melissa's Royal Mochi are ideal for after-dinner sweets, tea time, lunchbox treats, dessert platters, and Lunar New Year celebrations. With three flavors to suit different cravings, we recommend keeping all three close at hand.

Mochi is a traditional Japanese confection made from short-grained glutinous rice that's steamed then pounded into a smooth, elastic dough, and shaped into small cakes. It is prized for a signature chewy texture, and is enjoyed in its native Japan year-round, but especially at New Year celebrations.

These soft confections are fully cooked and ready to eat right out of the package. Enjoy them out of hand, or add them to your favorite dessert platter, or over ice cream. Mochi can be enjoyed at room temperature; refrigerating or freezing changes the texture of the rice dough.
