Mochi Rice Cakes
Order now, we'll ship today!
Mochi rice cakes are a light, sweet Japanese dessert treat. With a soft, silky, and chewy texture, these delectable rice cakes will disappear before you know it. Our Mochi is similar to the Mochi used in frozen yogurt shops like PinkBerry, Red Mango, and Yogen Fruz.
In Japan, where mochi originates, the rice cakes are traditionally prepared during a ceremony called mochi-tsuki. To make the mochi, glutinous rice, a sweeter and stickier variety, is first soaked overnight and then cooked. The use of glutinous rice is an important element that gives mochi its trademark sticky texture and sweetness. After the rice is cooked, an old-fashioned wooden mallet and stone mortar are used to pound out the rice into a smooth, wet dough. Finally, the dough is shaped into round balls and dusted with cornstarch.
Mochi is commonly eaten by itself, with sweet condiments, or as a topping for ice cream, yogurt, desserts, and cereal. Daifuku (mochi stuffed with a sweet filling) is a traditional treat that’s popular in Japanese cultures today. Mochi is often served stuffed with sweet azuki bean paste, sweetened plum, or ground up peanuts. Two modern spins on traditional daifuku, mochi frozen yogurt and mochi ice cream have become increasingly popular in recent years.
Give this unique treat a try and you won't be disappointed! The soft chewiness coupled with the silky sweetness makes mochi a satisfying treat. It's not surprising that this sweet rice cake is quickly gaining popularity around the country!
We recommend that you keep mochi refrigerated to preserve its freshness.

Jennifer, Rural, Virginia March 15, 2012“Can't say enough about how fast and professional you guys are AND how great the products that I ordered were! This was my first nuts.com order. Turnaround for shipping was almost immediate. We live in a VERY rural area. We travel as often as we can and I had tried some mochi at Marble Slab Creamery and fell in love. Needless to say, no MSC where we live so I've been hunting for the mochi online. I was thrilled when I tasted your mochi as it was EXACTLY like what I'd had on our trip. Also really liked the roasted chic peas and chia seeds. Never tried either of them before, but they sounded interesting. Glad I gave them a try! THANK YOU!”
Jillian, Portland, ME March 14, 2012“I have placed numerous orders with you over the years--fabulous products! They make great gifts for that hard to buy for person. And I am always finding new snacks that are delicious. (My new favorite is Mochi! It's great mixed with yogurt!) I recently had a shipping problem with an order, and you folks fixed immediately. Thank you! I couldn't be happier with you products and service! ”
Margaret, Bear, Delaware March 12, 2012“Found this company in December and here we are in March and on my third order. Have never seen a more efficient company! Kudos! ”
Diane, Austin, Texas March 4, 2012“Quick delivery...awesome tasting food! Love your Mochi. ”
Vernetta, Alexandria, VA February 20, 2012“My third huge order just came in! I ordered late afternoon on Sat and my order was at my door on Monday! Outstanding!
Before I unpacked everything, I ripped open the Mochi Rice Cakes as a new item for me. OMGoodness! Harmony in my mouth!! You just MUST try these treats if you never have. My next treat will be the Cordials (I bought four varieties), but I must earn those after I complete my weekly workouts! I know I'm going to LOVE them too! The superfood cereals are amazing in almond or coconut milk; great as a pre-workout fuel and chockful of fiber and protein!!
EXTREMELY happy with my new Nutty friends!! :) :)

James, Michiana, Indiana February 4, 2012“Ordered the 5 pound bag of mochi love this stuff.
The price is reasonable and the mochi is great. thanks for the quick shipping.”
Brooke January 31, 2012“Love my Mochi! Kids love these in place of fruit snacks too.
Thank you”
Heather, Platteville, WI January 26, 2012“We absolutely love your mochi rice cakes (especially my two-year-old) and just had to order more. The black sesame mochi we tried this time is just as amazing. The raw almonds are almost creamy, which is weird because you don't think of nuts as anything but crunchy. And I love how the organic mango actually tastes like mango, instead of being overwhelmingly sweet. Everything is amazing, and we can't wait to try the chia seeds sample - thank you!”
Nathan Coulter, Waterford, CT January 23, 2012“Ordered on Saturday night, package was on my doorstep on Monday morning. Wow! Hats off to nuts.com!”
Emily, Oswego, illinois January 1, 2012“As a teenager I go to red mango a lot and I love the mochi bites. These are just like them! I have only had them for a few days and there almost gone.”

elizabeth, orinda, ca February 24, 2011“These delicious mochi are just like the ones at Pinkberry (only fresher) and are approximately 1/4 the price of the little cups of add ons you can buy. They go great with the big cartons of Pinkberry pomegranate takeout. THANK YOU NUTS ONLINE!”
