Mochi ice cream by MOCHIDOKI

Mochi ice cream featured in Forbes, and The New York Times join us for the first time. Mochi is a Japanese-inspired rice dough -- this is the outter layer of our mochi ice cream. Our mochi is crafted by our chefs and made with the highest quality of mochiko flour. The flour is first steamed and then carefully kneaded until it becomes delightfully chewy and soft. Once it meets our standards for quality and taste, the dough is then wrapped around our creamy ice cream for an enchanting combination of flavor and texture.
