Are there any good places to get fresh mochi in SoCal?

 

Damn, I could use some right about now... *droooooooooooool*

 

damn, mochi sounds soo good right now, I could use some green tea mochi ice cream too

 

hmmmm not in pomona you have to go to LA or pound it yourself

 

I'm willing to drive out a bit, within reason. I'm visiting my uncle and aunt in Houston this weekend, and I'm sure they'd love some.

Only thing I've found is this: http://www.yelp.com/biz/chikara-mochi-inc-gardena

Any other suggestions? (other than pounding it myself )

 

Osaka-Ya in Sac makes it fresh everyday and also ships out too:

yeah thats less than 10 mins from me haha

i can get it for you and you can pick it up after traffic dies down

but its by the airport here so i dunno if you flying out of LAX

 

Yeah, I'll be flying out of LAX, gotta call them to see when they open, since my flight is at noon.

Since it's so close, have you been there?

 

sorry never been

 

dude.. you work right by marukai (big store). lucky...

 

yes i do


yes i am

 

AHhaha, totally useless for this thread, but this place rocks! I love the little Obachan that makes them all. My kids and wife love the peanut butter and chocolate chip ones. Those aren't even manju! They are more like a Reese's cup.

I typically like the more traditional ones, but they have a coffee one that is SO tasty.

 

We need a branch of Mochi Creme in the Yay (and maybe LA too)
