After going to Sake Express, I posted the pretty Fugetsu-Do mochi on Instagram. Apparently I was missing out on the chocolate mochi, so I had to go back the next day when we parked literally across the street!
It’s a shop with a tiny storefront, but they must have an active kitchen to produce all of the sweets they sell!
A few bags of treats near the beginning next to the shaved ice.
A few savory snacks in a glass case.
A bunch of packaged sweets along with a bunch of beautiful, delicious desserts!
I mean, just look at how vibrant the colors are!
So many of the items had gorgeous decorations as well.
The tiny dessert on the left had a leaf covering too.
These are not mochi, but I love these ones that have a pancake-like outside. Yum!
And lastly, a few more bean-filled sweets!
Want to know which ones I bought? I had to buy this Ogura with a fancy fish on top and red bean on the outside.
These three beauties were pretty much all white on the outside…
…but had some beautiful interiors to be eaten! Also, I assumed the strawberry mochi had a strawberry-flavored button in the middle, but it was actually chocolate. Surprise, surprise!
Lastly, the chocolate mochi. I already knew that the peanut butter mochi was melt-in-your-mouth good…
…and this one was somehow even better! Definitely a must for anyone visiting the shop.
Next time, I’ll try some of the pancake-covered sweets in addition to a few more mochi. 🙂
