1-Pack Review: Delicious snack! - Soooo good! They were delivered in a very good condition. They are very yummy, will order again! Review: Like a gummy - Before you proceed anywhere on this page... STOP. Do you know what mochi is? (Hint: it's rice) Do you know what daifuku is? (Hint: it's sweetened mochi - basically) What if I told you rice could be made into something like a yummy gummy? Would yummy gummy-like treats filled with a thick, sweet, jelly-like paste interest you? What if that thick, sweet, jelly-like paste was made from beans? Ahhhh, you're running away? :( Oh well. Let's get on with it. I have yet only tried the mango/peach/pineapple package (as of this writing they're all gone) and one of the bean paste, and they are DELICIOUS. Granted, they came in a little smashed and very soft, but... I think I like them that way! They used real fruit juice concentrate for these, so rest assured you're not going to complain that you can hardly taste the difference between each one. The pineapple really SMELLS and tastes like pineapple, the peach really DO make me think of peaches, and the mango... well, to be honest, it's been so long since I had a mango, but it's what I think a mango would smell like. The bean paste ones, as with most Japanese treats, doesn't really taste like "beans." It just tastes sweet, and thick, and... yeah, it's difficult describing it. Nothing like barbecued beans. I thought I was being very daring by eating one, that it was something to brag about to my silly siblings, but it was kind of a let down. Oh well. I can't comment on the strawberry/blueberry ones yet, but I can get an idea from the smell that they won't disappoint. :) Anyway, I loved these. They are very sweet though, and I seriously doubt it's what a native Japanese would call "legit" daifuku, but until the day I can sample the real thing, this is probably the closest I'll get.

Very sweet, mostly soft, a bit artificial.
Very tasty! The rice cake itself was very soft and marshmallowy, though occasionally one flavor will have had the filling harden. For me it was the mango in the tropical fruit pack. The fruit flavors are very strong, almost a tad too strong, and are fairly artificial tasting. Still tasty, but more akin to a candy flavor than a fruit paste flavor. All of the flavors were very sweet. The red bean and jelly ones were by far my favorite. Very soft and the flavors were milder which I like a lot. Overall would give 4 1/2 stars if they let me.

Not Fresh
The mochi was not eatable it was very dried out and hard. It is obvious that these Mochi were not fresh. You can't return them either so you are out the money and they aren't cheap.

Way too sweet!
I've had a variety of mochi and daifuku before, all ranging from different brands and varying quality. I was excited that I could order daifuku online at a reasonable price. These guys came swiftly and were very soft with a good shelf life. I would have adored these if it weren't for the cloying sweetness...and that's saying something since I have a sweet tooth. Yes, these are supposed to be sweet but good lord...its like eating a handful of gummies or jelly beans. Good daifuku isn't supposed to be like eating candy. If this is your first time with daifuku I'd honestly try another brand. If you still want to give these a try the red bean is the least sweet, followed by fruit and then the berry. It's ok if you want something sugary, but there has to be something better out there.

Great product , different flavors….addictive..
Silky, lightly sweetened, crisp fruity flavor. This variety pack gives you the opportunity to try different flavors but not a single piece was a disappointment. Very different from traditional red bean or bubble milk tea flavors butt

[Honest Review] Do not buy if you're looking for genuine mochi
Having recently gotten into mochi, I've been looking to explore with different flavors of mochi, and I thought this would compliment that. Upon reading reviews I found mixed results, I usually take these with a grain of salt and buy anyway, expecting my product be fine. Boy was I wrong. Every single flavor is disgustingly sweet, this is evident by the fact that the first ingredient on the package is Granulated Sugar. The ingredient that should be first, which is Glutinous Rice, is 5th. Ingredients 2 and 3 are just different ways of saying sugar, and 4 is red bean paste. Individual package reviews: Rice Cake with Bean Jam: Hands down the worst. All off them have zero flavor other than an overwhelming sweetness. The only ones I actually spit out. Berry Daifuku: Favorite of the bunch, but still way to sweet to warrant buying again. Very soft, but still gummy like. The Blueberry is the best of them all, however the strawberry is very chemical and sweet. Fruit Daifuku: The most un-mochi like. The filling feels like a massive jelly bean. Disgustingly sweet just like the others. If you like overly sweet gummies with a semi soft filling, go for it. But if youre looking for a genuine mochi experience, stay far away from it. On the packaging it says its a product of Japan, if this is true, this is an insult to both mochi and Japanese culture.
