Nipponya

The customer service was fantastic! It's so fun to see what interesting and unique flavors they have. I was luckily able to pick up a limited edition flavor of mochi. I'm excited to see what else they come out with! I also wanted to mention the wrapping service. They allow you to select a wrap (partially dependent on the size of your order) and secure your purchases neatly. Makes for a great presentation when giving a gift!

This is my first time writing a review for any shop, so when I write a review, that's how you know this place is worth the visit! Was super busy when I came for the first time. The ladies working were so friendly to me (I regret not getting their names) and more than willing to guide me around the store, as well as share a few samples :) I really felt that they cared for their customers, which I find to be rare. All in all, the customer service was phenomenal and the mochi was fantastic! $9 for one of their boxes (I believe) and worth every penny! Would definitely pay them a visit the next time I'm in town!

They have some really good candy that they sell here as well as mochi boxes. If you haven't tried mochi, they have free samples here too! I love how it's brightly lit and organized. It's very colorful in here it kind of reminded me of Tasty Sugar except the colors weren't visually overwhelming. Definitely would love to come back here! I recommend this place.

I never miss a chance to stop by this store. It's an upscale mochi and cookie store with direct Japanese imports. They also have a large seasonal section which is always changing, so don't just get stuck buying your regulars, look around, especially during cheery blossom season when the Sakura sweets are available!

My absolute favorite product from Nippon-Ya is the Harajuku Mochi in those cute metallic foil boxes. Each box contains 16 soft, scrumptious mochi balls that will leave you wanting 538048635 more. The mochi come in chocolate/strawberry, chocolate, banana, and green tea/red bean (the strawberry/chocolate is by far the best). There is so much more to Nippon-Ya than just mochi, however. There are different candies, crackers, and gourmet loose-leaf teas; cute accessories and tea-ware. Everything is perfect for gifting. :)
