Inspired by the cozy, comforting flavors that people crave in the fall and winter, My/Mochi crafted seasonal mochi treats inspired by festive delights like hot cocoa with marshmallows, sugar cookies and gingerbread. These creamy, cool and chewy ice cream treats offer a refreshingly different alternative to ordinary seasonal indulgences served hot.
While traditional mochi flavors like matcha, red bean and black sesame offer a taste of cultural heritage, the growing demand for these pillowy treats in North America has sparked the creation of fun, seasonal flavors like the latest in My/Mochi's lineup for fall and winter.
Alongside the three all-new Hot Cocoa with Marshmallows, Sugar Cookie and Gingerbread flavors, the original and largest mochi ice cream brand is also reviving fan-favorite seasonal varieties like Pumpkin Spice, Apple Pie á la Mode and Cool Peppermint.
